Hebrews 8 - A Better Ministry8 Now the main point in what has been said is this: we have such a high priest, who has taken His seat at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens, 2 a minister in the sanctuary and in the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, not man. -          A better ministry is the title of this message-          Now the main point in what has been saido   The main point that we need to take away from the message in Chapter 7 about Melchizedek is this:o   We have such a high priest, who has taken His seat at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens§  This is about the risen Lord who went back up into heaven and sat down at the right hand of the throne (His true position)§  This means that He completed His mission and now He can rest until all His enemies are made His footstoolo   A minister in the sanctuary and in the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, not man§  This is not a tent made by man on earth!§  This is the real thing – the true tabernacle created by God Himself!§  The tabernacle on earth was just a picture of the true tabernacle in Heaven3 For every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices; so it is necessary that this high priest also have something to offer. -          For every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrificeso   Notice this is the purpose of a high priest o   He offers gifts and sacrifices to God on behalf of the people to make atonement-          So it is necessary that this high priest also have something to offero   The high priest must offer something..4 Now if He were on earth, He would not be a priest at all, since there are those who offer the gifts according to the Law; 5 who serve a copy and shadow of the heavenly things, just as Moses was warned by God when he was about to erect the tabernacle; for, “See,” He says, “that you make all things according to the pattern which was shown you on the mountain.”-          The priests on earth offer gifts according to the Law (specific offerings)-          Who serve a copy and shadow of the heavenly thingso   Notice the tabernacle and the gifts & sacrifices are a copy and shadow §  they point to the real gifts and the sacrifice!-          Just as Moses was warned by God when he was about to erect the tabernacle; for See, He says “That you make all things according to the pattern which was shown you on the mountain”o   God showed Moses the pattern (the blue prints)o   He told Moses to make all things according to the pattern (follow it carefully)o   So that which was built on earth was a copy of that which God builto   God gave Moses specific instruction on what and how to build the tabernacle so it would be representative of the one in heaven! 6 But now He has obtained a more excellent ministry, by as much as He is also the mediator of a better covenant, which has been enacted on better promises.-          But now (this is what applies now)-          He has obtained a more excellent ministryIntro to Outbless Weekly Thanks for listening to Outbless.com
