    • 8:1

      the main point of what we are saying: Paul here stresses the main point of what he has been discussing in detail​—that Jesus Christ as the heavenly King-Priest is far superior to any high priest who served under the Mosaic Law covenant. (Heb 4:14–7:28) The apostle goes on to explain that the sacred service of the Levitical priests was “a shadow” of heavenly things. (Heb 8:3-5) Next, from Heb 8:6 to 10:21, he reasons that because Jesus is a superior High Priest, the covenant he mediates must be “correspondingly better” than the Mosaic Law covenant. (Heb 8:6 and study note) Thereafter, Paul focuses on the importance of faith, endurance, and Christian conduct in order to help the Hebrew Christians to see how they could put these deep truths to work in their lives.​—Heb 10:22–13:22.
