Heb 8:1: this is a summary of what's going on here – we have a high priest on the right side of God, mediating for us. That's Christ. He's there for us. Vs2: there was a tabernacle pitched in the wilderness by Moses, but this one is pitched by the Lord. Vs3: this is what the high priest is for – to offer gifts and sacrifices now. The high priest needs to offer sacrifices himself, but this high priest is totally different. Vs4: the writer is referring to the people of his time still offering gifts according to the old laws, and they don't need to anymore because Christ paid the whole price for us on the cross. If Christ were on earth, He wouldn't be a priest because he is not of the tribe of Levi, says the writer. Vs5: a tabernacle is needed for the Lord to dwell with them; He told them about it and showed them how to build it. Exodus 40:4 shows the details. Vs6: Christ as high priest is better than any priest of the Levi tribe, and is built on better promises. The tribe of Levi, the law set forth by God just puts you to death. With Christ, you live forever. Vs7: if thing wrong with the first laws was that it killed you. That's why Christ had to come to save mankind. Vs8-9: Christ had to come make a new promise with the House of Israel and the house of Judah because they couldn't obey the first laws. It is physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually impossible for human beings to follow the entire first set of laws put forth by God. ..........
