Look back: Look back over Hebrews 7:18-19 and remember through Christ’s better priesthood, believers have the hope of drawing near to God, something the old covenant could never accomplish.

Look ahead: This coming Sunday, we will be in Hebrews 7:20-22. Read the passage during the week with your family. 

Ask: What makes Jesus the guarantor of a better covenant?

Pray: Praise God for his faithfulness and that he keeps his oath to his people in Christ.

FAMILY TALKING POINTS

CHRIST CONNECTION

• Babies & Toddlers: God gave His one and only Son, Jesus, as the perfect sacrifice for sin. Anyone who trusts in Jesus is forgiven of their sins forever.
• Younger Preschool: God told His people to show they were sorry for their sins. The people could not pay for their sins, so God sent His Son, Jesus, to pay for their sins. Anyone who trusts in Jesus has forgiveness and life with God forever.
• Older Preschool: God told the Israelites to sacrifice animals to show the forgiveness of sin. God gave His one and only Son, Jesus, as the perfect sacrifice for sin. Anyone who trusts in Jesus is forgiven of their sins forever.
• Kids: God instructed the Israelites to sacrifice animals to demonstrate the forgiveness and removal of sin. God gave His one and only Son, Jesus, as the perfect and final sacrifice for sin. Anyone who trusts in Jesus is forgiven of their sins and made clean forever.
