The crescendo of all we’ve been discovering in Exodus and Hebrews is that through Jesus we find a better way to live; a new and living way. But rather than remain abstract, the author gives us some grounded practical ways of how this is lived out.

At the end of a list of things that are better in Jesus Christ, we finally get to the sacrifice he presents. It’s the sacrifice of himself and in doing so we discover forgiveness that is more comprehensive and more lasting than anything we’ve ever known.

Jesus opens up for us a new covenant - a brand new way of relating to God - and it’s based on better promises. These promises give us the capacity and power to follow God like never before.

Having dived into Exodus and discovered the origins of the priests in Exodus, we’re now in a place to see how Jesus is better. We discover that he is the priest who truly meets our needs and who ever lives to intercede for us.

Having enthusiastically accepted all that God required of Israel under the covenant, they fall at the first hurdle. The covenant was broken before it had really got going. So how will God respond? What does it teach us about the character of God in the face of an unfaithful people?

Since the beginning of human history, God’s desire to partner with people is seen in the covenants He makes. This week takes us to the dramatic scenes of Exodus where God seeks to partner with the entire nation of Israel. It leads us to consider the 10 commandments and ask what relevance they have for us today.
