Attention is being drawn to the superiority of Jesus Christ as High Priest and to the superiority of His high priestly ministry in contrast to that which was carried out in Judaism under the law. Under the Levitical system those serving as high priests were chosen and appointed directly by God, as was Jesus Christ.

Great Sermon! Gil, completed his comments on the false high priest, the Romish Pope, about six minutes into the sermon. He spent 17 minutes pointing ridiculous aspects of the Romish priesthood.
