The superiority of Jesus, his person, his life, and his sacrifice is the central theme of the book of Hebrews. Here in Venango County, PA, our ministerium has been dealing with a challenge from an unorthodox organization, the First Fruits of Zion, whose Torah Clubs are promoting the belief that Jesus did not fulfill the Mosaic Covenant. To them, the Law of Moses remains binding on all of God's people, and always will be. Hebrews 10:14 is one passage of scripture among many that demonstrate the falsehood of this teaching. The sacrifice of Jesus is superior, in every way, to anything in the Law of Moses, and this is by design. The purity of Christ's priesthood, the power of his sacrifice, and the tenacity of its application to all of us who put our faith in him is a core tenant of the Gospel. The New Covenant established by Jesus' blood was built upon a new foundation, for it is the ultimate manifestation of God's redemptive work among humanity, fully and finally.
