Live Again Through Jesus
Today’s passage is Hebrews 13:10-25. Let’s go!
Hebrews 13:10 (NIV)
10 We have an altar from which those who minister at the tabernacle have no right to eat.
On verse 10: “Those who minister at the tabernacle” refers to priests who served under the old covenant and who would sacrifice bulls and goats according to the law of Moses. Here the writer of Hebrews is saying that we as believers in Christ living under the new covenant have an altar – that is, we have access to God through the shed blood of Jesus – which the old covenant priests could not access by merely sacrificing the bulls and goats. As Hebrews 10:20 says, “a new and living way [to God] opened for us” when Jesus died on the cross for our sins. Once again it’s the theme that through Jesus Christ we have something incredibly special that people under the old covenant did not have.
