We have been called by Jesus to be messengers of the salvation that he brings. It is a call we dare not neglect.

Jesus’ tabernacle is not something made with hands, but is the eternal tabernacle of heaven. Here Jesus offers himself to the Father, a once and for all offering.

The new covenant expressed in Christ renders the old covenant obsolete, and any desire to hang on to the old is misplaced.

Jesus is the one, true, priest forever and he intercedes for us. He has no need to make sacrifices to make up for his own sinfulness. It is good to offer him our thanks.

Like Melchizedek, Jesus is king of peace–without conventional human ancestry, superior to Abraham and his children, called by God to a priesthood that lasts forever.

God’s promise and oath to Abraham are still in force. They offer us an anchor of hope that reaches all the way to heaven.

Christ has been established by God to be our high priest. Learning the implications of that priesthood is a basic element of our Christian faith.
