FOEOJ || Following Jesus Means I Have a Better Hope
Oct 3, 2026 • Michael Dawson
Following Jesus isn’t always easy. When life becomes difficult, it can be tempting to go backward—to return to what feels familiar, comfortable, and easier to understand. In Hebrews 7, the author reminds us that we have a better reason to keep following Jesus: Jesus is better.
Jesus is our eternal High Priest. Unlike the priests under the old covenant, Jesus lives forever, was appointed by God’s oath, and always lives to intercede for us. Because of Jesus, we can draw near to God even when we feel unworthy, and when we fail or feel like giving up, we can keep coming back to Him.
In this message from Hebrews 7, we are reminded that Jesus has opened the way to God, Jesus is still there, and Jesus gives us a better hope.
Keep your eyes on Jesus.
