  4. The Priesthood of Jesus is greater than the Levitical/Aaronic Priesthood. Background: Genesis 14:18-20 Psalm 110:4 Melchizedek: King of Salem Brought bread and wine Priest of Jehovah (but not a Jew) Blessed Abraham Received a tithe from Abraham

  5. The Preacher’s Argument 1. Establish that Jesus is of the priestly order of Melchizedek and the order of Melchizedek is greater than that of Aaron. 2. Establish the type/antitype relationship between Jesus and Melchizedek to illustrate his greatness.

  6. Melchizedek Superior to Levi 1. Heb 7:2 Abraham gave a tithe to Melchizedek. 2. Heb 7:4 “Just think how great he was.” 3. Heb 7:7 Melchizedek blessed Abraham. “Without a doubt the lesser is blessed by the greater.” 4. Heb 7:9 Levi, who collects a tenth, figuratively gave a tenth to Melchizedek through Abraham. Conclusion: Melchizedek is greater than Aaron

  7. Type/Antitype Relationship

  8. Jesus is the Perfect High Priest of a New Covenant Heb 7:12 A new priesthood requires a new covenant. Heb 7:18 The former covenant was weak and useless. (useless in that it did not produce perfection in the worshippers) Why? Heb 7:11 Perfection could not be obtained. Heb 7:23-25 Levitical priests have a habit of dying. Heb 7:26-28 Levitical priests sin. Levitical priests know the things of humans, but not of God.

  9. Conclusion: Levitical priests offer a sacrifice. Jesus IS the sacrifice Hebrews 7:22 Jesus has become the guarantee of a better covenant. Hebrews 7:28 The law appoints as high priests men who are weak, but the oath, which came after the law, appointed the Son, who has been made perfect forever.

  10. Hebrews 8: A Better Covenant Hebrews 8:5 A copy (hupodeigmasketch-plan, diorama) A shadow (skiashadow, reflection silhouette) 8:3 Better gifts and better sacrifices 8:5 Follow the exact pattern.

  11. Sacrificial Type and Antitype Old Testament Sacrifice New Testament fulfillment Scriptures Sweet Savor Offerings “Gifts” The Burnt Offering Jesus’ and our devotion to God Ephesians 5:1,2 Romans 12:1,2 The Grain Offering Giving back a contribution to God Matthew 6:19-21 Romans 8,9 The Drink Offering Pouring out our life for God Luke 22:20 Philippians 2:16 The Fellowship Offering Celebrating our blessings from God John 10:10 1 Thess 5:16 Blood Sacrifices The Sin Offering Jesus’ sacrifice for our sins 1 Peter 1:18,19 2 Corinthians 5:21 The Guilt Offering Maintaining a relationship with one another Matthew 5:23,24

  12. What is a Covenant? SunthekeThe common word for a covenant, which is a mutual contractual agreement between equal parties. Diatheke A specialized word for a covenant, which is a contractual agreement between a superior and a lesser party authored solely by the superior. A will. Conclusion: The Gospel is all of God and none of us.

  13. A Better Covenant Hebrews 8:6 The ministry Jesus has received (as high priest) is as superior to theirs as the covenant of which he is the mediator is superior to the old one, since the new covenant is established on better promises. What promises? We will see….

  14. Hebrews 8 A Better Covenant Jeremiah 8:31-33 8:6 Better promises 8:9 Based on Jesus’ righteousness, not our own. 8:10 We serve because we want to, not out of obligation. 8:10-11 It is a personal, intimate relationship. 8:12 Real, lasting forgiveness.

  15. Type and Antitype in the First and Second Covenants Prefigure in the Law of Moses Realization in the Law of Christ Obedience to physically defined rules required. Obedience to spiritual principles required. Physical blessings promised. Spiritual blessings promised. Ceremonial uncleanness. Sin and separation from God. Sacrifice bridges the chasm between law and effort. Sacrifice bridges the chasm between law and effort. Sealed with the blood of bulls and goats. Sealed with the blood of Jesus Christ. Mediated by a High Priest. Mediated by THE High Priest, Jesus Christ. Laws, rules and regulations for behavior. Behavior based on spiritual principle and love. Tithing. Sacrifice and giving from the heart. Sabbath. Come…. I will give you rest. Relying on Jesus. Death. Life.
