Show Notes

The book of Hebrews presents Jesus in multiple vital roles that are essential to understanding His ministry and work for humanity. It starts by establishing Jesus as our King, who rules at the right hand of God and has reclaimed His authority over the universe through His death and resurrection. Jesus is also portrayed as our Mediator, who represents us before God and ensures the fulfillment of all God's promises to His people, showing us that our salvation is found solely in Him.

 

Furthermore, Hebrews describes Jesus as our Champion who battles on our behalf against sin and death, much like David fought Goliath for Israel. As our High Priest, Jesus surpasses all earthly priests by offering Himself as the ultimate sacrifice and continually interceding for us in the heavenly sanctuary. This unique role grants us direct access to God and ensures our ongoing transformation through His grace.

 

Finally, Jesus is the Mediator of a better covenant, a covenant that provides complete access to God and ensures our forgiveness and cleansing from sin. Unlike the old covenant, which relied on imperfect priests and sacrifices, the new covenant, mediated by Jesus, is perfect and complete. Through Him, God's law is written on our hearts, and we are invited to live confidently in His promises, experiencing a relationship with God that is transformative and eternal.
