When God came to earth in human flesh as the New Covenant these believers discovered the freedom they could have in Jesus and the relationship they could enjoy with Him. Yet in the midst of persecution and rejection they were often tempted to hold on to the former symbols rituals and traditions grounded in the requirements of the Old Covenant.</p><p>The unknown author of Hebrews sought to address this problem by contrasting the Old and New Covenants brilliantly showing that Christ is higher than any Old Testament character priest ritual or sacrifice. Because of Jesus' life death and resurrection He is the perfect sacrifice and our own High Priest. And He has given all believers unfettered access to God!</p><p>--ABOUT THE SERIES--</p><p>The MacArthur Bible Study series is designed to help you study the Word of God with guidance from widely respected pastor and author John MacArthur.
