In Hebrews 8, the Christology transitions from the Person of Jesus, our High Priest, to the ministry of Jesus as our Priest. Just as chapter 7 expounds how Jesus is a Priest infinitely greater than any other before Him, so chapters 8 and following declare His ministry to be equally supreme, offering further hope that Jesus is the only One who can reconcile the believer to God. Why is Jesus’ ministry as High Priest ‘more excellent’ than all who were before Him?
