We could approach this in another way. How does the new covenant compare to the old? For, as with the two covenants, so with the priests of the two covenants. Like covenant, like priest. Think for a moment about what we have seen of the old covenant. It was abolished by Christ, yes, but, make no mistake, the ceremony of the old economy, while it lasted, was glorious, jaw-dropping. Using the word in a ‘good’ sense, without any suggestion of the sexual, the old covenant was highly sensual; it appealed to the senses. As a physical (outward) covenant, it was resplendent to the nth degree, stunning in all its magnificence. Of course it was, for it represented indescribable spiritual glories in physical signs and symbols, so that fallen man could catch at least a glimpse of those eternal verities. ‘Resplendent’ is the word. So much so, the performance of old-covenant ritual must have presented a breathtaking spectacle to the senses; to the eye, dazzling; a reverberating chorus to the ear; and an evocative stimulus to the nostrils

“ Great Sermon! No comparison!!!!!!!! ” The old covenant was purely punitive, just as prisons of old... no power of regeneration-reformation for the soul, they remained chained, whipped by the law it inflamed rebellion , therefore continually compelled to sacrificie animals , a viscous relentless and hopeless system!
As it , the OT Law can only heap more guilt and penalty and rebellion, no relief only death would be the end of it....
BUT NOW... believers in the New Covenant , by the Blood of Christ Alone
Now the penalty is paid in full/ guilty no more, sins removed, all stain washed away forever, completely justified and sanctified by the judge ...Christ Himself!!! He frees and leads His out of the prison indwelled with the power of the Holy Spirit NOW as a new heir, a son adopted into the Kingdom of God, follows His Lord, and never should he wander back to the old prison of the old covenant, God Forbids!
Christ Jesus is All
He has written the Law on the heart of His children ...no longer needed on tablets of stone
