Jesus Is Greater: A Better Sacrifice

Read Hebrews 10:1-18

“Anyone can give without sacrifice, but not everyone will sacrifice just to give.” ~Unknown

Jesus brought a better sacrifice because…

1. A better sacrifice was needed. (1-4)

• The law was only a shadow of reality.

• The law was not able to clear our conscience.

• The law was a constant reminder of sin.

2. A better sacrifice was provided. (5-9)

• It was provided by Christ.

• It was provided willingly.

• It was provided freely.

3. A better sacrifice was all-sufficient. (10-18)

• All-sufficient sanctification.

• All-sufficient confirmation.

• All-sufficient satisfaction.
