Look back: Look back over Hebrews 7:20-22 and remember Jesus’ priesthood is unshakable because God has sworn it, making Him the perfect and final mediator of a better covenant.

Look ahead: This coming Sunday, we will be in Hebrews 7:23-25. Read the passage during the week with your family. 

Ask: Why were the old covenant priests "many in number"? How is Jesus different?

Pray: Praise God for the resurrection of Jesus, through which he continues forever and saves his people to the uttermost.

FAMILY TALKING POINTS

CHRIST CONNECTION

This is the big idea of how this week’s Bible story points to Jesus.

• Babies & Toddlers: God had given the people everything they needed. God has given us what we need too—His Son, Jesus—who died on the cross for our sin.
• Younger Preschool: The people grumbled even though God gave them everything they needed. We sometimes grumble too, but God gave us what we need most: Jesus! Jesus died and rose again to save us from our sins.
• Older Preschool: The people grumbled even though God had given them everything they needed. We also grumble when we think we need more. But God has already given us what we need most—His Son, Jesus, who died and rose again so we could be saved.
• Kids: The people grumbled because they thought they needed more than God had provided. We also grumble when we wish God would give us more of the things we want. But God has already provided what we need most—His Son, Jesus, who died and rose again so we could be saved.
