Thank you for joining me for this episode of On The Way. Here are the discussion question for this episode:
Hebrews 8:1 says Jesus is sitting at the right hand of God the Father. What does this say about what Jesus accomplished on the cross and what God the Father thinks about His sacrifice?
Hebrews 8:6 says, Jesus "is the one who mediates for us a far better covenant with God, based on better promises." How are Jews saved? Is there any value in observing/obeying the old law, the Jewish covenant?
The fact that the new covenant replaced (Hebrews 8:7) the old testament doesn't mean the Old Testament isn't valuable, but it does mean that it's not as applicable to our lives. When you read the Old Testament, are you tempted to try to apply its instructions to your life?
The old covenant was never meant to be applied to the church. It was meant to prepare the world for Jesus. What dangers do you see in continuing to abide by the old covenant even though its purposed was fulfilled when Jesus came.
If you have time, read Exodus 20:1-17. How many of the ten commandments apply even to those who live under the new covenant?
