Commentary from Pastor Michael White:
…for the law made nothing perfect; on the other hand, there is the bringing in of a better hope, through which we draw near to God. – Heb 7:19
The law – the Old Covenant – could never make us perfect; it could only highlight our imperfection. The law could never get us close to God; it could only highlight how far we had drifted away.
But our new covenant is better (v 19)! Our New Covenant gives us hope. Our New Covenant lets us participate in the perfection of Jesus. Our better covenant gives us permission to, “…come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need” (Heb 4:16). Our New Covenant accomplishes everything the Old Covenant never could.
Aren’t you so grateful you live under the New Covenant?
Prayer:
Father, thank You for the New Covenant of Your Son Jesus Christ! Thank You for His death on the Cross. Thank You for the new life His death purchased for me!
