Hebrews Chapter 8 Summary Out with the Old What's the point of all
this high priest talk? Well, just that Christians have the best
high priest possible. One who's "seated at the right hand of the
throne of Majesty in the heavens." NBD.See, the Jewish high priests
in the old days worked in the tabernacle (the tent that God
instructed the Israelites to assemble in the desert after the
exodus from Egypt). They had to offer gifts like rams and goats to
atone for their sins and follow Jewish law while doing it.But Jesus
works in the "true tent." That's not a place set up by people, but
by God himself. We guessing it's pretty snazzy.He's in charge of a
better covenant with way better promises, says the author. If God's
first stab at a covenant with his people had worked, there wouldn't
be any need for Jesus. But it didn't, so it's on to Plan B.The
author quotes the prophet Jeremiah and explains that God himself
told the people that one day he would make a new covenant with
them.This new deal wouldn't be like the old one. God planned to
write his law on their hearts, not on parchment. People wouldn't
have to tell each other about God—they'd just know him.Needless to
say, the author pretty much thinks that this is what God has done
with Jesus. The old covenant is out and the new one is in.Check,
please.        Thanks to
