2. Glorification of Jesus in Old
Testament
• Genesis 3:15 And I
will put enmity
between you and the
woman, and between
your seed and her
seed; he shall bruise
your head, and you
shall bruise his heel.

3. Glorification of Jesus in Old
Testament
• 1 Cor. 10:4 …for they
drank of that spiritual
Rock that followed
them: and that Rock
was Christ.
“…like unto the Son of God.” Daniel 3:25
I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man
came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of
days, and they brought him near before him. And there was
given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people,
nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an
everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his
kingdom that which shall not be destroyed. Daniel 7:13, 14

sacrifices – the greater is seated receiving the
sacrifices.

– the heavenly stands forever.
• Earthly sacrifices were made by law – the heavenly
by oath.

of the actual – the throne of God never changes.
• The earthly covenant, written and engraved in stone
was fading – the covenant of blood reigns throughout
eternity.

7. VS 6-9 The Christ Offers A More
Excellent Ministry
• The better covenant
would not have been
needed if the first
covenant had been
faultless (8:7).
As Paul explains in Galatians, the purpose
of the Law was not to impart spiritual life, but
rather to reveal our sin so that we would be
driven to faith in Christ as our only remedy
(Gal. 3:19-24).

• First, the New
Covenant assumes
man’s sinfulness
and the Law’s
inability to draw
sinners near to God.
“Thou art a sinner!”
“I Will
Remember
sins no more”
