Gen Z: Hebrews 8
1So, like, here’s the tea: we got a high priest chillin’ at the right hand of the big boss in the sky; vibes are immaculate.
2He’s the minister of the holy spot, the real deal, set up by the Lord, not just some random dude.
3Every high priest gotta bring gifts and sacrifices, so this dude needs to have something to offer too, no cap.
4If he was on Earth, he wouldn’t even be a priest ‘cause there are already priests doing their thing by the law: savage.
5They’re just serving as a preview of the heavenly stuff, like when Moses got the memo from God about the tabernacle: "Make it just like I showed you, fam."
6But now he’s got a lit ministry, being the go-between for a better deal, built on better promises, fr.
7If the first deal was perfect, there wouldn’t be a need for a second one, periodt.
8He’s pointing out their faults, saying, "Yo, days are coming when I’ll drop a new covenant with Israel and Judah."
9Not like the old covenant I made when I led them outta Egypt; they didn’t stick to it, so I was like, "Nah, I’m good."
10Here’s the new deal I’m making after those days: I’ll put my laws in their minds and write them on their hearts; I’ll be their God, and they’ll be my peeps.
11No need to teach each other about knowing the Lord; everyone will just know me, from the least to the greatest, that’s facts.
12I’ll show mercy for their wrongdoings, and I won’t even remember their sins anymore; that’s bussin’.
13Since he’s saying there’s a new covenant, the first one is basically old news. What’s fading away is ready to dip out, fr.
