An Awesome Picture - Part 1

---

Hebrews 7:11-28

---

In this section of Hebrews we see that the author desires to paint a picture of Christ that conveyed to the Jewish Christian audience the superiority of Christ's priesthood over the Levitical priesthood.

I. The author's desire
II. The author's description

a) "Indestructible Life" - This phrase conveys the impossibility of being destroyed. Jesus did what Aaron could not do.
b) "Better Hope" - This phrase conveys absolute assurance and points directly to Christ (I Timothy 1)
c) "Holds Permanently" - This phrase conveys that which does not pass away or cannot change. (Hebrews 7:23)
d) "Saved Forever" - This phrase emphasizes the power of Jesus Christ to keep us secure to the very end. (Hebrews 7:25)
e) "Make Intercession" - This phrase points to making an appeal to approach or make petition (see also John 17:11-19)
