I found my meditation spot in verses 22, 24-25: Because of this oath, Jesus has become the guarantor of a better covenant. … but because Jesus lives forever, he has a permanent priesthood. Therefore he is able to save completely those who come to God through him, because he always lives to intercede for them.
What the original covenant couldn’t do, Jesus can do. He can save COMPLETELY those who come to God through Him. Grammatically the word ‘completely’ doesn’t seem to fit the sentence. You can either save someone or you can’t. Right?!
But the word ‘completely’ does add an important element to the thought. ‘Completely’ means there are no holes, no problems, and no issues. Those who come to God through Jesus have everything taken care of…
‘Completely’ is a word of assurance… assurance for those who believe in Him. There will never be a need for another covenant because the covenant of Jesus can and will save perfectly, fully, completely. Believe it because God will never lie.
Lord, thank You for the assurance that these words bring. Praise to You, Lord Jesus. Bless You for the perfect, complete salvation that You provide. Halleluiah. Amen.
