Scripture: Hebrews 10:1–7, 10–14 | Runtime: 8 min

Every priest stood because his work was never finished. Jesus sat down. Lisa brings together the threads of the week and closes the long argument that began in Hebrews 8: the shadow has given way to the real thing, and nothing is left to add.

In this episode:

• A shadow is always cast by something real: what the law’s sacrifices showed and what they couldn’t do
• If you had to take your car to the mechanic every week, it wasn’t really fixed
• Psalm 40 in the mouth of Jesus: “A body you prepared for me… I have come to do your will”
• Standing priests and a seated High Priest
• Made perfect forever and still being made holy: both are true at once
• Jeremiah’s promise returns: “Their sins and lawless acts I will remember no more”

Reflection: Where are you still standing as if the work depended on you? What would it look like today to rest in what Jesus has finished?
