"But now...He is the Mediator of a Better Covenant." Hebrews 8:6
We have viewed our Lord as "the Minister of the Sanctuary," and He is now termed the "Mediator of a Better Covenant." Aaron was the high priest of the sanctuary of the old covenant, but now Christ in Heaven is the Mediator of a Heavenly covenant -God's agreement to confer blessings upon men. He promised to put His laws into their minds and write them on their hearts and says, "I will be their God and they shall be My people; their sins and iniquities will I remember no more." Let us remember, then, that we are His sanctuary, His temple, and He will perfect His work in and through us. Give way to His will and let our temples be holy unto the Lord.
Help us, Thou great Mediator, to surrender al to Thee. Cleanse us, keep us cleansed that we may offer acceptable worship unto Thee. Amen.
