Dearly beloved congregation of our Lord Jesus Christ, we saw last week the intimate connection between the Levitical priesthood and the Mosaic law. We know, of course, that Moses was a Levite. And the Levitical system that was set up under his mediatorship depended entirely on the law that was given to him on Sinai. In the text before us this morning, the Hebrew writer describes the evidence showing that Jesus is a Melchizedekian priest and thus that the coming of Jesus abolished the Levitical priesthood. The writer then applies this abolition of the Levitical priesthood to the Mosaic law. Because the priesthood is gone, the Mosaic law in its ceremonial and civil aspects has to go as well. Jesus ended the Levitical priesthood and the Mosaic law, for He is a perfect priest and His priesthood gives us a better hope of free access to the Father. The priestly work of Christ ended the Levitical order and Mosaic law, bringing in a new priesthood and a better hope.
