Why settle for religion when Jesus brought something better? Discussion Questions for Hebrews 7-8:

  1. Why does it matter that Jesus became High Priest by God’s oath, not merely by religious appointment or ancestry?
  2. What confidence do we gain from the fact that Jesus’ priesthood is permanent and will never be replaced?
  3. Hebrews says Jesus “always lives to intercede” for us. What does that mean? And what does it not mean?
  4. How does Jesus being “holy, innocent, undefiled, separated from sinners” make Him exactly the High Priest we need?
  5. Why is it significant that Jesus is “seated” at the right hand of God, instead of standing daily like the old priests?
  6. What is the difference between a priest serving in an earthly copy and Jesus serving in the true heavenly sanctuary?
  7. Hebrews 8:6 says Jesus has obtained a “more excellent ministry.” What makes His ministry more excellent than the old covenant system?
  8. How do “better covenant” and “better promises” help us understand what we have in Christ that Israel never had under the Law?
