In the past several weeks in our study of Hebrews we have been looking at the fact that Jesus is our high priest – after the order of Melchizedek. Chapter 8 continues this theme. The theme of Jesus as our High Priest. It reminds us that the old system of sacrifices was not a perfect system, it was, rather, a shadow of God's perfect plan for our salvation. The ministry of Jesus surpasses the old Levitical priesthood, because he "mediates for us a better covenant with God, based on better promises." (Hebrews 8:6) Then the writer quotes at length a passage from Jeremiah which predicts this new covenant that God had promised his people. Specifically, in this passage of Jeremiah, God says, "I will make a new covenant with my people, and this is how it will be." Today we'll look at this new covenant. Today we will look at the passage in Hebrews 8 that has taken straight from Jeremiah 31.

It describes the covenant that God has extended to all people everywhere.
As we listen to the terms of this covenant, I want you to ask yourself, "How does this compare with the way I typically try to approach God? Am I seeking to know him on the basis of the old covenant or the new?"
