“Letsago!” From shadow to substance

Hebrews 7 serves as a profound lens through which we witness the shift from the old to the new covenant. In a recent sermon, Marshall likened this leap to the advent of the Nintendo 64 gaming system.

The passage compares the Levitical priesthood of the old covenant with the eternal priesthood of Christ in the new. It's not merely a move from black and white to color, but from flatness to depth, from limitations to boundlessness. The pixelated rituals of the past find their fulfillment in the living, breathing reality of Christ's eternal priesthood.

Just as the Nintendo 64 revolutionized gaming by introducing a third dimension, the new covenant elevates our spiritual experience. It's an immersive reality where Christ's sacrifice transcends the confines of ritualistic shadows, inviting us into a dynamic relationship with the divine.

In Hebrews 7, we can marvel at the richness of this 3-dimensional faith. Are we still navigating the pixelated spaces of religious routines, or have we embraced the depth and vibrancy of Christ's eternal priesthood, experiencing the fullness of God's promises in living color?

Question for Reflection

• What intentional steps can we take to immerse ourselves more fully in the living reality of Christ's eternal priesthood, moving beyond the shadows of ritualistic practices?
