The High Priest of the Heavenly Sanctuary and the Fulfilment of Jeremiah's Prophecy
Christ, as Melchizedek-High-Priest, has a higher ministry than the Levitical priesthood, because He ministers in the true Tabernacle in heaven which indeed was the pattern for the earthly tabernacle (Hebrews 8:1). Besides He is superior in proportion as the new covenant is better than the first (Hebrews 8:6).
