Why Jesus? Because God Will Remember Our Sins No More.

Psalm 110:4 - The LORD has sworn and will not change his mind, “You are a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek.”

Why Jesus is the Superior Priest? (Hebrews 8:1-13):

  2. The new covenant is not Conditional . (Heb 8:9)
  3. The new covenant is Internal . (Heb 8:10a)
  4. The new covenant is Personal . (Heb 8:10b-11)
  5. The new covenant gives total Forgiveness . (Heb 8:12)
