Jesus Is Greater: A Better Sacrifice

Jesus brought a better sacrifice because…

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.
