August 10, 2025 - THE IMPERFECT TUTOR

Hebrews: The True and Better - Hebrews 8.1-13

Jobey McGinty

The Old Covenant, with its rules and sacrifices, was never the final answer. It was a tutor, meant to expose the depth of our sin and point us to a greater solution. The Old Testament priesthood was a "shadow" of what was to come, a temporary measure that could never make anyone truly perfect. But Jesus Christ established a new and better covenant, one based on unbreakable promises. He fulfilled every requirement of the old law because we could not. And through faith in Him, we are not just forgiven, we are justified. Our sins are remembered no more, and we are given a brand new identity—from "children of wrath" to "children of God." Because of His mercy and grace, we are made alive with Christ. Now, as children of God, our purpose is to share this incredible news with a world that is still separated from His saving grace.
