In this Bible study podcast, Andy Davis goes line by line through Hebrews 7:11-19. The author proves that the Old Covenant was flawed in that it could never make its worshippers perfect, and its obsolescence was planned by God from the beginning. The author shows that, in order for Christ (descended from Judah) to be a priest, there must be a New Covenant, and the Old Covenant must become obsolete. The author sets forth the clear superiority of Christ’s priesthood over the Old Covenant priesthood in that it is a permanent priesthood based on the power of Christ’s indestructible resurrection life, and in that it is able to bring us near to God in ways the Old Covenant never could.
