God's Best

Hebrews 8.6
God’s Best

      But the MINISTRY Jesus has received is as superior to theirs
               as the COVENANT of which he is mediator is superior to the old one,
                         and it is founded on better PROMISES.

A. BETTER MINISTRY

      1.  Jesus is the only one to sit at God’s right hand  [1]

               a.  Right hand:  the highest honor

               b.  To sit:  the finished work  [1.3;  10.11-12]

      2.  Jesus is the only one to minister in heaven  [2]

B. BETTER COVENANT

      1.  The first covenant

               a.  Something wrong  [7]

               b.  The fault lies with people  [8]

               c.  Made obsolete  [13]

      2.  The new covenant

C. BETTER PROMISES

      1.  I will empower you to do all that I ask of you  [10]

      2.  I will draw you into a personal relationship with me  [11]

      3.  I will never, ever mention your sins again  [12]
