希伯來書8:3-6

8:3 凡大祭司都是為獻禮物和祭物設立的，所以這位大祭司也必須有所獻的。
8:4 他若在地上，必不得為祭司，因為已經有照律法獻禮物的祭司。
8:5 他們供奉的事本是天上事的形狀和影像，正如摩西將要造帳幕的時候，蒙上帝警戒他，說：「你要謹慎，作各樣的物件都要照著在山上指示你的樣式。」
8:6 如今耶穌所得的職任是更美的，正如他作更美之約的中保；這約原是憑更美之應許立的。

³ Every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices, and so it was necessary for this one also to have something to offer. ⁴ If he were on earth, he would not be a priest, for there are already priests who offer the gifts prescribed by the law. ⁵ They serve at a sanctuary that is a copy and shadow of what is in heaven. This is why Moses was warned when he was about to build the tabernacle: “See to it that you make everything according to the pattern shown you on the mountain.”^{[a] 6} But in fact the ministry Jesus has received is as superior to theirs as the covenant of which he is mediator is superior to the old one, since the new covenant is established on better promises.

    主耶穌是真實的大祭司，只有祂才是上帝和人之間的中保，聖徒是不夠資格的，聖徒再好也是人，不是上帝！惟有耶穌基督是完全的上帝，也是完全的人！也只有祂夠資格成為上帝和人之間的中保！馬利亞雖被稱為上帝之母，她也不夠資格，因為她也只不過是人，不是上帝！

    就像牧師再會講道也是人，也們什麼好誇自己會講道，因為我們都是上帝的器皿，是上帝在我們身上展現祂的榮耀，不是我們能做什麼，沒有什麼好誇耀自己會講道，會說到刺透人心的話，這都是聖靈的工作，沒什麼好沾沾自喜的，反到要敬畏上帝！

    同樣，我們要存著敬畏的心，來靠著耶穌基督做中保，與上帝建立正確合宜的關係，若不是上帝的恩典與慈愛，我們能做什麼？我們豈可以得著上帝兒子的名份呢！
