Children like to think their dads are the best at everything.
Once three boys were talking together, and each of them asserted that their dad was the best of all. The second boy said, Well, that's nothing. The third boy, whose father was a preacher, said, Well, that's nothing. Throughout the course of the book of Hebrews, the author has been demonstrating with great precision the superiority of Christ and the New Covenant over the various aspects of the Old Covenant which guided the people of Israel for hundreds of years. He has shown how Christ is superior to the angels, superior to Moses, and now superior to Aaron and the priesthood of the Old Testament.
