Hebrews 8:6 NLT: “Now Jesus, our High Priest, has been given a ministry that is far superior to the old priesthood, for he is the one who mediates for us a far better covenant with God, based on better promises.”
If you were on trial, you’d want the best possible defense attorney, a spokesperson shielding you, an advocate working on your behalf. Having Jesus as our mediator gives us an edge, gives us hope!
The old covenant wasn’t working. God’s desire is that no one would be lost, so the rules needed to be rewritten, and Jesus went to work negotiating for mankind, taking the sin of the world upon himself, and making it possible for believers to see the inside of heaven! Jesus called it the “New Covenant!”
Jesus, our high priest, sits in the place of honor at the right hand of God himself. Our counselor is well-connected! Fortunately, our defender works pro bono!
