In chapter 9 of Hebrews we are shown some ways in which the Old Covenant shadowed the New Covenant and what we can learn about Christ through those shadows. We also are shown how the ONE SACRIFICE of the New Covenant—Christ on the Cross—is FAR GREATER than the millions of sacrifices under the Old Covenant. Seeing and being grasped by the sacrifice of Christ frees us to serve God in a more intimate way than Israelite priests ever could have. God truly desires to be part of our lives. And He has purposed to be part of our lives by sending His Son Jesus. What a joy to have Jesus!
