Christ’s role in the New Covenant: (verse 15)

Mediator

Called will inherit the promises because of Christ

Christ’s Blood is the atonement and guarantee

New Covenant compared to a “Will” (verses 16-22)

It takes death to place in effect a “will”

The first covenant pointed to this covenant through sacrifices

Not open to negotiation (set by God, verse 20)

Heavenly places were cleansed (verse 23)

Cleansed on our behalf (verse 24)

Sinners are now welcome in heaven (verse 25)

Christ’s glory shines (verse 26)

LIFE APPLICATION:

No matter how dirty you feel, Christ’s Blood makes you fit for heaven and service.
