Christ introduced the New Covenant, sealed it with His own blood and made the old, imperfect one obsolete. Watch throughout the book – “better” becomes a theme; Better promises, better hope, better reward, better resurrection.

Jesus’ priesthood is compared to Melchizedek’s rather than the tribe of Levi. Melchizedek is mentioned in Gen 14:18-20. He was king of Salem and priest of God Most High – A king and a priest. The Levitical priesthood was temporary – they obtained the role merely because of being born into the tribe. The sacrifices of the Levites could not remove sin and they had to repeat the sacrifices. Christ sacrificed once and for eternity.
v1-10 Mechizedek
v11-12 Levitical Priesthood Temporary
v13-28 Christ’s Priesthood Eternal

Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
