Context Readings

The Heavenly Ministry Of The New Covenant

10 the whole system being concerned only with food and drink and various ablutions--external ceremonials imposed until the coming of the New Order. 11 But, when Christ came, he appeared as High Priest of that Better System which was established; and he entered through that nobler and more perfect 'Tabernacle,' not made by human hands--that is to say, not a part of this present creation. 12 Nor was it with the blood of goats and calves, but with his own blood, that he entered, once and for all, into the Sanctuary, and obtained our eternal deliverance.
