JesusCentral figure in Christianity, the Son of God, and the mediator of the new covenant. His role as mediator signifies His function as the bridge between God and humanity, offering salvation through His sacrifice. 2.

Jesus is the mediator of the new covenant, which is superior to the old covenant. 3. New Covenant This is the promise of salvation and eternal life through Jesus Christ, contrasting with the old covenant given to Israel through Moses. It is characterized by grace and truth. 4. Sprinkled Blood Refers to the sacrificial blood of Jesus, which purifies believers and speaks of forgiveness and redemption, unlike the blood of animal sacrifices under the old covenant. 5. Abel The second son of Adam and Eve, whose blood cried out to God from the ground after he was murdered by his brother Cain. Abel's blood symbolizes the cry for justice and vengeance. Teaching Points The Superiority of the New CovenantThe new covenant mediated by Jesus is superior to the old because it offers complete forgiveness and eternal life, not just temporary atonement. The Power of Jesus' Blood Unlike Abel's blood, which cried out for vengeance, Jesus' blood speaks of mercy, grace, and reconciliation. Believers are called to live in the light of this forgiveness. Jesus as Our Mediator Jesus' role as mediator assures us of direct access to God. We are encouraged to approach God with confidence, knowing that Jesus intercedes for us. Living in the New Covenant As recipients of the new covenant, believers are called to live lives that reflect the grace and truth of Jesus, showing love and forgiveness to others.(24) And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant.--Rather, a new covenant. There is another change in the Greek which it is not easy to-express. In all other places in which we read of the New Covenant (Hebrews 8:8; Hebrews 8:13; Hebrews 9:15; Luke 22:20; 1Corinthians 11:25; 2Corinthians 3:6) a word is used which implies newness of kind and quality; here it is a covenant which is newly made--literally "young," having all the freshness of youth in comparison with that which long since was waxing old (Hebrews 8:13). Here also if we follow the order of the original (see Hebrews 2:9; Hebrews 3:1; Hebrews 12:2, et al.), the description precedes, and the name "Jesus" follows, thus standing between the words which describe His covenant and those which speak of His blood. . . .
