but he became a priest with an oath when God said to him: “The Lord has sworn and will not change his mind: ‘You are a priest forever.’” Because of this oath, Jesus has become the guarantor of a better covenant. – Hebrews 7:21-22 (NIV) Today’s commentary by Dave Whitehead, Senior Pastor, GraceNYC.org The word “guarantee” was a business term used to denote a deposit, or a security, that bound the person to carry through with their word or obligation. God was bringing a new covenant, or binding agreement, to humanity, and Jesus Christ is the One giving us the details of that new agreement. God came to earth as a man in Jesus Christ, so that men and women can come back to God through faith in Jesus and His resurrection. God himself guarantees this.
