SOME BETTER THINGS FOR US
Hebrews 11:32-40
Intro: Hebrews 11 describes for us many great events which we would
like to have been in on, but here in the last verse the Bible tells us that
God has provided something better for us than Israel enjoyed.
I. WE HAVE A BETTER PERSON FOR OUR SAVIOUR..
The Lord Jesus is greater than Moses
A. In His Birth
B. In His Being
C. In His Blessings
II. WE HAVE A BETTER PAYMENT FOR OUR SINS...
Moses gave them the annual sacrifice which gave them:
A. Annual remembrance of their sins... Heb. 10:3
B. Annual ritual for their sins... Heb. 10:1
C. Awful reality of their sins... Heb. 10:1-4
Christ gave us one sacrifice for sin, forever and then sat
down...Heb. 10:10-14. Now we have:
A. Eternal redemption... Heb. 9:12
B. Eternal remission... Heb. 10:17
C. Eternal reconciliation... Heb 9:24; I Jn. 2:1-2
III. WE HAVE A BETTER PRECEPT FOR OUR SCRIPTURES
They lived under the law, we live under grace
A. The demand of the law...Gal. 3:10, "do, do, do"
B. The doom of the law...Gal. 3:11, "no justification"
C. Our deliverance from the law, Gal. 3:13; Rom. 8:1-4
IV. WE HAVE A BETTER PRIEST FOR OUR SERVICE
Aaron was a great priest, but not as great as CHRIST.
A. Christ can always be touched...Heb. 4:14-16
B. Christ can always be trusted...Heb. 2:17-18
C. Christ can never be terminated...Heb. 7:23-25
V. WE HAVE A BETTER PLACE FOR OUR SETTLING
Israel settled in a temporary place flowing with milk and honey.
We will settle in a permanent place with gates of pearl and the
streets of gold.
A. We will have a better Exodus... I Thess. 4:16-17
B. We will have a better Entrance
C. We will have a better Experience
We won't have to fight for heaven...
