A Guarantor

This makes Jesus the guarantor of a better covenant. Hebrews 7:22 ESV

Some verses in the Bible seem to say everything we need at once, such as John 3:16. Other verses, such as our verse for today, cry out for further explanation. We recognize the truth in our Lord's name, but immediately want to know, "Better than what other covenant?" And also, what is this new covenant, if we have not yet read the gospels and the epistles. We can find all we want to know and more about the former covenants in the Old Testament. For the new covenant, that better covenant, that Jesus guarantees, we have this in verse 25 of the same chapter of Hebrews:

Consequently, he is able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God through him, since he always lives to make intercession for them.

Draw near, children, to the God of our salvation!
