THE BOOK OF HEBREWS CHAPTER 8 (13 of 24)
Harley Howard
1 Now of the things which we have spoken [this is] the
sum: We have such an high priest, who is set on the
right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the
heavens;
Of the things we have spoken about, here is the main
point of it all. The High Priest we have described, we
are in union with Him. He is in Heaven, appointed to
sit on God's right hand, the place of honor and

If He (Christ) were on earth, His priesthood would be
non-existent seeing that He could not qualify because
He did not come from the line of Aaron. The writer
stated that at the time of his writing these
sacrifices were still ...
