Jesus Is All That–And Some!!!

Hopefully, it was inspiring and interesting to the readers  as we toured the book of Hebrews with a corresponding series entitled:  Jesus is Better in Every Way,  to glean through its Holy pages on just how good Jesus is in the New Testament.

In our efforts, we attempted to provide in-depth but succinct expositions on several passages of scriptures to compare and contrast types and shadows (patterns) from the Old Testament and how much better it is in the life of the born again believer with King Jesus under the New Covenant.

Summarily, we began this discourse by expounding on the following:

• “Why Settle For Less Than the Best – which provided an introduction on how Jesus is better in every way and as such, on this particular topic, we ascertained that Jesus is better than the Angels (Hebrews 1:4)
• “Not Just Any Prophet (Hebrews 1:1-3) – Everything about Jesus is prophecy and prophecy fulfilled—from His death, burial, resurrection, to His ascension. Jesus is better than the Prophets.
• Yes, Even Better Than Moses (Hebrews 3:1-3) – Jesus, the Son of God, the One Who built the House and has more honor than the House is better in very way—yes even better than Moses.
• No, not that one, but King Jesus is His name (Hebrews 4:7-8) – Surely, there is a greater and a better rest to the people than that of Joshua, son of Nun. Yes, Jesus is better than Joshua.
• Jesus is our great High Priest and Intercessor (Hebrews 5:1-5) – Jesus, our High Priest, who knew no sin, once and for all paid our sin debt in one clean sweep when He shed His blood on Calvary’s Cross. Jesus is better than Aaron and other Levitical priests.
• Jesus, Even Better than Abraham (Hebrews 7:4) – Just as Abraham gave a tenth of the spoils to Melchizedek, who was a type and shadow of Jesus in the Old Testament, we as believers under the New Covenant, should honor our King of Kings and Lord of Lords with lips of Praise and Worship, with great Love to Him, as yielded vessels, and sold out lives to Him.
• Jesus, He is the Tabernacle – (Hebrews 9:11) – Jesus, when He Shed His blood on Calvary’s Cross enabled the partition, or the curtain (veil) to be torn from top to the bottom; thereby making it possible for the redeemed of the Lord to come boldly to the very Throne of God (Mercy Seat) to find grace to help in the time of need. Yes, Jesus is the better than the Tabernacle.
• No Better Sacrifice than Jesus – (Hebrews 10:11-12) – Old Testament priests no longer have to sacrifice the blood of bulls and goats over and over again to atone for their own sins or the sins of mankind at the altar. Albeit, under a new and better covenant, Jesus Christ, the sinless Lamb, sacrificed Himself by shedding His powerful and cleansing blood and is now interceding for us from Heaven’s Throne Room (the Golden Altar). Jesus is better than any sacrifice.
• Jesus Better than Mt. Sinai – (Hebrews 12:18-24) – With Jesus as our Mt. Zion (the heavenly Jerusalem) AKA, our church of the first born SON, we as born again believers, are free to worship in Spirit and in truth in the church house; as we walk this thing out in holiness and with a reverential fear of God, Most High! Yes, Jesus is better than Mt. Sinai.

I do pray that you have enjoyed this series!  Blessings to you!

Prayer: Papa God, we worship You, We Praise You, and We love You for all that You have done, are doing, and will yet, do in our lives. We thank You, for sacrificing Your Only Begotten Son, Jesus Christ of Nazareth, so that we can experience the heavenly Jerusalem right here on Earth. We thank You for giving us a perfect High Priest and Intercessor, King Jesus; the Lover of our Souls, our Wonderful Counselor, our Prince of Peace, and our All and All in the matchless name of Jesus, Amen and Amen.
