KEY PRINCIPLES FROM THIS MESSAGE:

A fundamental objective of the KoD is to offer up a counterfeit salvation/deliverance to human beings (vs. salvation/deliverance from God).

Anything we do to our own body, we are doing to God.

A life filled with gratitude to the Lord is a life filled with joy.

The writer of Hebrews wanted to encourage his audience to recall God’s ultimate working through Christ by demonstrating the superiority and finality of the Son’s eternal priesthood. This reality was made manifest in the New Covenant.

William L. Lane on Hebrews 8
The earthly tabernacle and its priestly ministry were valid and real only because of the heavenly validity and reality to which they corresponded, in which they participated, and to which they referred.
