Out With the Old, In With the New // Better: A Study of the Book of Hebrews

The Bible is God’s Word—from Genesis to Revelation. It is inspired, trustworthy, and just as applicable to us today as it was when it was written. But did you know that when Jesus appeared on the scene, it wasn’t just a new chapter in the same story Scripture had been telling? There’s a reason for the split between Malachi and Matthew. From the moment Jesus’ first cry was heard in Bethlehem, it all changed. The life, death, and resurrection of Jesus were all the end of one story and the start of a better one—with a better covenant based on better promises, leading to a better relationship with God. And the promise that Jesus offered still stands: a promise to change lives for forever and for the better.

Jesus wasn’t just another chapter in the story that God was telling. Jesus is the hingepoint of history, changing everything for forever and for the better. He brought the Old Covenant and the old way of relating to God to its completion, and He launched the New Covenant with power—based on better promises and a better relationship with God.
