Christ is our superior priest, the only One whose indestructible life and finished work can bring true righteousness, lasting peace with God, and confident access to His presence. In this message from Hebrews 7:11–17, Pastor Ryan unpacks why the Levitical priesthood and the Mosaic Law could never make us perfect, how Jesus fulfills and surpasses them, and why His priesthood “according to the order of Melchizedek” changes everything. You will see how the Law exposes our sin, points us to Christ, and finds its fulfillment in the Savior who not only offers the perfect sacrifice but is Himself the sacrifice, the Priest, and the King of righteousness and peace.
Through this sermon, you are invited to turn from self‑reliance and rule‑keeping, look to Jesus alone for righteousness, and rest in the forever priest whose once‑for‑all sacrifice secures your forgiveness, justification, and peace with God. Whether you are exploring faith, wrestling with guilt, or longing for assurance, this message will call you to “look and live” by trusting the superior priest who intercedes for you even now.
