Hebrews 7:22 – “By so much more Jesus has become a surety of a better
covenant.”
There are several themes running through the book of Hebrews. One is faith. Another is the word “better.” Our One Year Bible verse today tells us that Jesus is the guarantee (surety) of a better covenant. Better than what? Better than the Old Covenant that came through the law.
The word “better” is used no less than twelve times in the book of Hebrews. It is mainly used to describe the superiority of the New Covenant through the blood of Jesus over the Old Covenant through the blood of animal sacrifices. Hebrews says we have received a better hope, better promises, a better country, a better possession, and a better resurrection. The bottom line is this: Jesus makes everything better!
Be encouraged today. You may be facing difficulties but with Jesus things are about to get better. He has always made an improvement in everything He touches. Ask Him to touch you today. Ask Him to touch your life in every area. When you do, better is on the way!
