Better Promises

My email moniker is "betterpromises."

"Why?" you ask, "What does it mean?"

"Good question," I reply, "it's from Hebrews 8:6, which says: 'But the ministry Jesus has received is as superior to theirs as the covenant of which he is mediator is superior to the old one, and it is founded on better promises.'"

"OK; but I don't get it," you say.

I try to explain, "I'm not an expert on this, but you see- Jesus' ministry is superior to the ministry of the High Priests who served at the Temple and the New Covenant is superior to the Old Covenant. Remember? He said, 'This is the new covenant in my blood.'"
