Now beyond all contradiction the lesser is blessed by the better. Hebrews 7:7 (NKJV)
The Book of Hebrews is a book of comparisons. Compared to angels, prophets, priests, and men, the Lord Jesus Christ is greater. Through Christ, everything that we have been promised has become better. Hope, covenants, sacrifices, and promises have all become better in Him. So, the Lord Jesus is greater and better, and that makes us lesser. To be lesser is not bad. It is better. And that is beyond all contradiction because the lesser, that’s us, is blessed by the better, that’s Him. —Rex Trogdon
Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth,
Thy own dear presence to cheer and to guide;
Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow,
Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside! —T. O. Chisholm
