Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Hebrews 8:6-13

IIChrist’s priestly service is by so much the more excellent, as the covenant of which He is Mediator, rests upon better promises than the old covenant, which, according to its own testimony, is destined to destruction.Hebrews 8:6-136 But now [as it is] hath he obtained5 a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was [hath been] established upon better promises. 7For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should [would] no place 8have... read more

Hebrews THE ENTHRONED SERVANT CHRIST Heb_8:1-2 A LITTLE consideration will show that we have in these words two. strikingly different representations of our Lord’s heavenly state. In the one He is regarded as seated ‘on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty.’ In the other He is regarded as being, notwithstanding that session, a ‘minister of the sanctuary’; performing priestly functions there. This combination of two such opposite ideas is the very emphasis and force of the passage.... read more

Hebrews THE TRUE IDEAL Heb_8:5 I DO not intend to deal with the original bearing of these words, nor with the use made of them by the writer of Hebrews. Primarily they refer to the directions as to the Tabernacle and its furniture, which are given at such length, and with such minuteness, in Leviticus, and are there said to have been received by Moses on Sinai. The author of this Epistle attaches an even loftier significance to them, as supporting his contention that the whole ceremonial... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Hebrews 8:1-13

The Mediator of the New Covenant Hebrews 8:1-13 Such a High Priest , Hebrews 8:1-6 . He sits because His work is finished so far as His sacrifice is concerned. His place is at God’s right hand-the seat of power. By faith we, too, may serve in the inner sanctuary of the spirit. Before you start building, and while engaged in building, your life-work, see that your eyes are fixed on the divine ideal and pattern. Such a new covenant , Hebrews 8:7-13 . It is as superior to the former as... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Hebrews 8:1-13

Having established the fact of the superiority of Christ, the argument now proceeds to deal with the superiority of the relationships consequent thereupon. The central verity is set forth in the words, "We have such a High Priest." Because this is so, His ministry must be superior in all its details. It is so in the place of its exercise. In position and localization He is not on earth. He rules over the whole spiritual House, ''which House are we," in which God dwells, and in which He is the... read more

Our Great High Priest Hebrews 7:1-28 and Hebrews 8:1-13 INTRODUCTORY WORDS Christ was God's Priest after the order of Melchisedec. "The Lord sware and will not repent, Thou art a Priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec." This oath is mentioned in the 110th Psalm. There it says: "The Lord hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a Priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek." Let us consider an incomparable Psalm, a Psalm so full of beauty and of glory, that it scintillates with... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Hebrews 8:5

THE PATTERN IN THE MOUNT‘See … that thou make all things according to the pattern shewed to thee in the mount.’ Hebrews 8:5 The building of the tabernacle, which was to be the visible sign and symbol of God’s presence among His people, suggests also a method and a duty capable of the widest application. I. Is there not for all history and for all life, even for the common tasks of our daily duty, a ‘pattern in the mount,’ a thought of God waiting for our study and reproduction, realised in... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 8:2

‘A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, not man.’ And in this new position He is a minister (leitourgos - official state appointee but used of priestly service in LXX, therefore God’s official appointee) of the heavenly sanctuary, the true tabernacle where the perfect work necessary for our continuing salvation can be accomplished. This is the true tabernacle of which the earthly was but a copy. It is the heavenly tabernacle, pitched by God and not man,... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 8:3

‘For every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices, wherefore it is necessary that this high priest also has somewhat to offer.’ And just as every High Priest on earth is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices, so is it right that this heavenly High Priest has something to offer. What it is that He has to offer is not immediately stated, but that is what the writer intends to go on and show us. We will soon learn that it is the mediation of a better covenant (Hebrews... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 8:4

‘Now if he were on earth, he would not be a priest at all, seeing that there are those who offer the gifts according to the law,’ The writer now puts the whole matter in context. He has portrayed Jesus as a heavenly High Priest. However, he is now ready to concede that were Jesus on earth He could not act as such a priest, as a priest who ‘offered gifts according to the Law’, for he was not of the right descent. That was a matter of earthly history. Let there be no doubt about it, he is saying,... read more
