The thought of Better Things continues in Hebrews, chapter eight. Jesus is the author of a Better Covenant. That is, the Old Testament and its laws are no longer our guide; it is the New Testament that we are to follow. Because of His sacrifice He changed the Law by which men are to follow. Listen to Him:
"For when the priesthood is changed, of necessity there takes place a change of [the] law also"(7:12).Jesus Christ is the author of a better Covenant because He abides as a priest forever and He is unchangeable.
"For if that first covenant had been faultless, there would have been no occasion sought for a second...He has made the first obsolete. But whatever is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to disappear"(8:7,13).
Come learn more about the New Covenant of Jesus Christ at the Independence Church of Christ. We meet at 401 S. 11th St. with classes at 9:30 AM and Worship at 10:30 AM.
The Hebrew writer in chapter ten admonishes the futility of the sacrifices of bulls and goats. In fact: "But in those sacrifices there is a reminder of sins year by year. For it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins ... since we have confidence to enter the holy place by the blood of Jesus, by a living way whiich He inaugurated for us through the veil, that is His flesh"(10:3,4,19,20). Jesus, "For by one offering He has perfected for all time those who are sanctified" (14).
There is no longer any need for any more sacrifices for our sins. Jesus paid the price by going to the cross for our sins -- How Wonderful! This is made possible, because Jesus Is the Better Sacrifice.

Our planet was invaded by the Almighty One, in the person of Jesus of Nazareth when He was born at Bethlehem almost 2,000 years ago. The babe was God the Son, the person called, The Word. "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God..And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us ... " (John 1:1-14).
He came because the whole world was in a perishing condition caused by sin, and God cared. "For God so loved the world, that He gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him will not perish, but have everlasting life" (John 3:16).

There is one God (Deuteronomy 6:4). He is expressed in three personalities: The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Each is called God in the Bible; but neither is God without consideration of the other two. There are not three Gods. It is not 1+1+1. It is 1x1x1: this equals one.
The Bible calls Jesus God. "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God..And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us" (John 1:1-14). Jesus Himself said: "I and the Father are one" (John 10:30).

In Hebrews 13:3, the writer says, "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, and today, yesforevermore." The writer in Hebrews speaks of the changeless Christ in a changing world. This is The Hope for every generation, past, present, or future.
We live in a world of change and confusion. In most occupations people are being sent back to school for further training that in order that they may keep up with the changing time and technology. However, it is refreshing to know that Jesus Christ and His Word will never change. As a Christian we can go to our grave knowing that our children, grandchildren, and even our great-grandchildren can obey The Gospel of Jesus Christ without any change to The Word of God.

The world around us seems more confused than ever before. Today, all we read or hear about are the problems that surround us: "balancing the budget; crime in America; the racial tension in our schools, jobs, cities; who will lead us into the 21st century." These are all problems that our country must come to terms with. But consider for a moment what The Good News of Jesus Christ can bring to any person.
"For He Himself is our peace, who made both one, and broke down the barrier of the dividing wall making the two into one new man, thus establishing peace" (Eph.2:14,16).
In Christ, we can read of Jesus, The Peacemaker, who brings all men together through His blood, which He shed at the Cross! In Christ, we can read of Jesus, The Peacemaker, who appoints men to be leaders of nations (Ps. 2). In Christ, we can read of Jesus, The Peacemaker, who brings men to a better understanding of ourselves through His Word.
We at the Independence Church of Christ are seeking the answers to man's problems in the Bible. Will you join us? Our Bible Classes begin at 9:30 AM and Worship is at 10:30 AM. Come Worship with Us.
The author to the book of Hebrews states: "God, after He spoke long ago to the fathers in the prophets in many portions and in many ways, in these last days has spoken to us in His Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the worId" (Heb.1:1,2)
The Son, Jesus Christ is the heir of ail things, through which God has spoken to us. The author of Hebrews is telling the world then, and now is that Jesus Christ is The Final Word! Jesus says: "Therefore everyone who hears these words of Mine, and acts upon them, may be compared to a wise man, who built his house upon the rock" (Matt.7:24). Again, He says, "Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words shall not pass away" (Matt. 24:35).
