It is often referred to as the "better than" book of the Bible. As I have been "blogging through" Hebrews, the writer has spoken of Jesus as being better than the angles and better than Moses. He has spoken of the better hope that is found in Him and how it is that He is a better high priest.
In Hebrews 8:6 we read, "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." Through the ages, different men of God had undoubtedly been used by Him to serve in various ministries. But Christ has "obtained a more excellent ministry". In this forum, time does not allow me to address His role as mediator or the matter of covenants. But know that it is a "better covenant" that He mediates. And this covenant, well, it is enacted on "better promises".
Praise the Lord! There is no mistake about this truth that the Hebrew writer conveys. Everything about Christ is better!
