Throughout the book of Hebrews, Paul taught the superiority of the gospel of Jesus Christ and the Melchizedek Priesthood over the Law of Moses and the Aaronic Priesthood. From your study of Hebrews 8:1-3; 9:22-28; 10:1-4, 10-17; Alma 34:10, 13-14, write a paragraph describing how the Atonement of Jesus Christ fulfilled the law of Moses. Include in your paragraph what these verses say about the following questions:
The law of Moses is the lesser law in which the people made sacrifices. With the Atonement, they no longer needed to make sacrifices. Christ was the ultimate sacrifice that provided away for redemption that no longer included animal sacrifices.
In the book of Hebrews, Paul referred to Jesus Christ as a “high priest” (see Hebrews 9:11). Read hebrews 9:11-28; the institute student manual commentary for Hebrews 9:1-10, “What Do We Know Concerning the Ancient Tabernacles and Its Services?” (pp. 390-391); commentary for Hebrews 9:11-15, 23-28, “The Role of Jesus Christ as High Priest Mediator of the New Testament” (p.391). Write a paragraph that shows how the labors of the high priests in the temple were like what the Savior did for us in the Garden of Gethsemane.
The high priest in the temple made an escape for us for our sins. They offered up sacrifices for the people. Christ gave himself up for a sacrifice. He atoned for our sins and sacrificed himself. The high priest and Christ became the advocates for the people.
Write a paragraph on why the title “high priest of good things to come” (Hebrews 9:11) is an appropriate title for Jesus Christ.
I think that this is referring to the fact that the high priest’s of ancient times were a prototype of Christ. The high priests offered sacrifices and Christ offered himself as a sacrifice. The high priest’s were good, but Christ was a “good thing to come.” I think that this refers to the people looking forward to the day when Christ would fulfill the law of Moses.
