Keep in mind that the book of Hebrews (the new covenant) relates to and clarifies some of the teachings, ceremonies and commandments of the Old Testament books (the old covenant). “The New is in the Old concealed. The Old is in the New revealed.” The emphasis of Christ Jesus, our high priest is so much greater than the Old Testament high priest. Contrast and comparisons are made in these readings. V. 10 – The Lord says: “I will be their God, and they will be my people.” Isn’t that great? Our calling is to receive and live out the meaning of those words. Notice the emphasis on belonging. Isn’t that what most of us need and want…to belong? Do you belong to the Lord? Have you said it sincerely to the Lord? Consider what it means to belong to the Lord and how that affects your entire life.
