Hebrews | Christ and the New Covenant | Week 1 | Lexington

Sermon by Brandon Clements on September 22, 2024.
Near the tail end of our Year of Biblical Literacy, we come to the rich, dense book of Hebrews. It’s full of callbacks and history, threads pulled from all across the Old Testament. The author assumes intimate knowledge of the old covenant -the sacrificial system, the tabernacle, the promised land-and then shows that they were incomplete, only “copies and shadows.” Each is an arrow pointing to Christ, who himself becomes the mediator of the new covenant-the perfect high priest, the meeting place between God and man, the source of eternal rest for those united to him.
