Because God gave his word, Jesus makes certain the promise of a better covenant.

既是起誓立的，耶稣就作了更美之约的中保。

既是起誓立的，耶稣也作了更美之约的中保。

既是起誓立的，耶稣也作了更美之约的中保。

这誓言使耶稣成了更美之约的保证人。

如是、則耶穌為愈善之約之中保矣、

既以誓而立、故為尤善、約之中保、

如是、則耶穌為更美之約之中保、

然則耶穌所為仲介之新約、視舊約豈不更美乎。

I myself promise to keep Benjamin safe. You can blame me if I don’t bring him back to you. I’ll set him right here in front of you. If I don’t, you can put the blame on me for the rest of my life.

I promised my father I would keep the boy safe. I said,‘ Father, I’ll bring him back to you. If I don’t, you can put the blame on me for the rest of my life.’

You have come to Jesus. He is the go- between of a new covenant. You have come to the sprinkled blood. It promises better things than the blood of Abel.

But Jesus has been given a greater work to do for God. He is the go- between for the new covenant. This covenant is better than the old one. The new covenant is based on better promises.Suppose nothing had been wrong with that first covenant. Then no one would have looked for another covenant.But God found fault with the people. He said,“ The days are coming, announces the Lord. I will make a new covenant with the people of Israel. I will also make it with the people of Judah.It will not be like the covenant I made with their people of long ago. That was when I took them by the hand. I led them out of Egypt. My new covenant will be different because they didn’t remain faithful to my old covenant. So I turned away from them, announces the Lord.This is the covenant I will establish with the people of Israel after that time, says the Lord. I will put my laws in their minds. I will write them on their hearts. I will be their God. And they will be my people.People will not teach their neighbor anymore. They will not say to one another,‘ Know the Lord.’ That’s because everyone will know me. From the least important to the most important, all of them will know me.I will forgive their evil ways. I will not remember their sins anymore.”( Jeremiah 31:31–34)

Our Lord Jesus is the great Shepherd of the sheep. The God who gives peace brought him back from the dead. He did it because of the blood of the eternal covenant. Now may God

In the same way, after supper he took the cup. He said,“ This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Every time you drink it, do it in memory of me.”

My son, don’t promise to pay for what your neighbor owes. Don’t agree to pay a stranger’s bill.

In the same way, after the supper he took the cup. He said,“ This cup is the new covenant in my blood. It is poured out for you.

This is my blood of the covenant. It is poured out to forgive the sins of many people.

That’s why Christ is the go- between of a new covenant. Now those God calls to himself will receive the eternal gift he promised. They will receive it now that Christ has died to save them. He died to set them free from the sins they committed under the first covenant.What happens when someone leaves a will? It is necessary to prove that the person who made the will has died.A will is in effect only when somebody has died. It never takes effect while the one who made it is still living.That’s why even the first covenant was not put into effect without the spilling of blood.Moses first announced every command of the law to all the people. Then he took the blood of calves. He also took water, bright red wool and branches of a hyssop plant. He sprinkled the Book of the Covenant. He also sprinkled all the people.He said,“ This is the blood of the covenant God has commanded you to keep.”( Exodus 24:8)In the same way, he sprinkled the holy tent with blood. He also sprinkled everything that was used in worship there.In fact, the law requires that nearly everything be made“ clean” with blood. Without the spilling of blood, no one can be forgiven.So the copies of the heavenly things had to be made pure with these sacrifices. But the heavenly things themselves had to be made pure with better sacrifices.

Take the coat of one who puts up money for what a stranger owes. Hold it until you get paid back if it is done for an outsider.

“ This is my blood of the covenant,” he said to them.“ It is poured out for many.

A covenant will be put into effect with many people for one‘ week.’ In the middle of the‘ week’ sacrifices and offerings will come to an end. And at the temple a hated thing that destroys will be set up. It will remain until that ruler who will come is destroyed. Then he will experience what the Lord has ordered.”
