So far in our study of Hebrews 8 we have learned that “ covenant” is one of the great themes of Scripture, and is the very framework upon which the eternal plan of redemption is cast. We have also discovered that with the appearance of our Lord and Savior a “ new covenant” has been inaugurated, one that is much better than the “ old” one, or “ first covenant.”

As we continue our walk through Hebrews 8:6-13 this coming Lord’s Day, we will follow the inspired prophet Jeremiah (who is quoted in this passage from Hebrews) as he takes us on a tour of the richer and better blessings of this “ new covenant.”

Let me encourage you to do a little Old Testament background reading in Jeremiah 31:1-40 and Ezekiel 34:11-31 as you prepare for worship.
