What we have said amounts to this; we have an high priest, who sits in heaven on the right hand of the throne of the divine majesty. a priest of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle which the Lord made, and not man. every high priest being establish'd to offer gifts and sacrifices: it was necessary that he likewise should make a peculiar offering,read more.
which office he could not discharge here upon earth, where priests are already establish'd, who offer gifts according to the law: and officiate in the sanctuary, which was a gross representation of that in heaven, agreeable to the order given by God to Moses, when he projected the tabernacle, "be very exact, said he, in following the model which was laid before thee in the mount." Our high priest then has obtained a priesthood so much the more excellent, as he is the mediator of a better alliance, established upon better promises. for if the first alliance had been without defect, there could have been no occasion for the second. nor for that reproach, which was made to our fathers, where 'tis said, "behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new alliance with the house of Israel, and with the house of Juda: not according to the alliance that I made with their fathers, when I took them by the hand, to lead them out of the land of Egypt; for they have not kept my alliance, wherefore I have rejected them, saith the Lord. but this is the alliance that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord: I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: I will be their God, and they shall be my people. they shall no longer instruct every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest. for I will pardon their iniquity, and their sins and their trangressions will I remember no more." now by stiling the second a new alliance, he has antiquated the first. but to be antiquated and obsolete is next to being abolished.

Now one of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, was there, a ruler of the Jews: who came to Jesus by night, and said to him, rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher sent from God: for no man can perform the miracles that you do, except God be with him. Jesus answered him, I declare unto thee, except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.read more.
Nicodemus replied, how can a man be born when he is old? can he enter into his mother, and be born a second time? Jesus answered, I tell thee, except a man be renewed by the spiritual baptism, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. the cleansing of the body is only external, but the purification of the spirit is spiritual. be not surprized that I said to thee, you must be born again. the wind bloweth where it listeth, and you hear the sound thereof, but cannot tell whence it comes, or whither it goes: such is the change in every one that is renewed by the spirit. Nicodemus answered, how can that be? Jesus answered him, are you a doctor in Israel, and not know these things? I declare unto thee, we speak what we know, and testify what we have seen; but you do not receive our testimony. if you don't believe when I tell you what is plain, how should you believe, if I tell you of things more sublime? for no man hath penetrated into the secrets of heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the son of man, who is in heaven. but as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the son of man be lifted up: that whosoever believeth in him, should not perish, but have eternal life. for God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him, should not perish, but have eternal life.
