Hb8

The "old covenant" was inferior to the "new" in that it was dependent on sinful men who were unable to fulfill it's requirements. The "new covenant" is superior in that it it totally rooted in Jesus! Jesus did what no man could have ever done. He perfectly kept the law and provided a sacrifice for the sins of mankind.

This new covenant is in no way dependent on us! The old covenant was never kept…ever! Every man was guilty before God under its laws and regulations. Even the priest! But Jesus kept the law perfectly and has established a new covenant that enables all of us to have peace with God.

Under the old covenant man receives judgement and wrath. Under the new, for those who believe, man receives mercy and forgiveness! This is good news. Thank you Jesus.
