Jesus Christ in the Epistle to the Judean Christians (Hebrews): Part 3—The High Priest Brings a New Testament

Jesus Christ fulfilled every aspect of Old Testament Law to be a complete savior. In the early church, some Christians from a Judean background did not fully understand this. So, the Epistle to Judean Christians was written to show from many Old Testament truths how Christ is God’s better and more fully completed solution than the Law of Moses.

This is the third in a five-part series that will reveal truths from this Epistle to the Hebrews.

Psalm 73 opens the Leviticus book of the Psalms (73—89). The Old Testament book of Leviticus focuses on matters in the sanctuary: the priesthood, ceremonial laws, and feasts. Almost all of these 17 Psalms mention the sanctuary and God’s relation to it. Psalm 73 shows the heartache of those who are outside God’s “sanctuary” and His blessings.
