4. The less is blessed by the Greater One
Hebrews 7:7 (Amplified Bible)
7:7 Yet it is beyond all contradiction that it is the lesser person who is blessed by the greater one.
The Greater LORD JESUS CHRIST became less for us, so who we are lesser will become greater.
B. Blessed by The Greater One
"who is blessed by the greater one"
Things in the Bible which are better, greater:
1. Better to marry than to burn
1 Corinthians 7:9 (Amplified Bible)
7:9 But if they have not self-control (restraint of their passions), they should marry. For it is better to marry than to be aflame [with passion and tortured continually with ungratified desire].
2. Earnestly desire the best gifts
1 Corinthians 12:31 (Amplified Bible)
12:31 But earnestly desire and zealously cultivate the greatest and best gifts and graces (the higher gifts and the choicest graces). And yet I will show you a still more excellent way [one that is better by far and the highest of them all—love].
3. Being with CHRIST is far better
Philippians 1:23 (Amplified Bible)
1:23 But I am hard pressed between the two. My yearning desire is to depart (to be free of this world, to set forth) and be with Christ, for that is far, far better;
4. CHRIST is better than the angels
Hebrews 1:4 (Amplified Bible)
1:4 [Taking a place and rank by which] He Himself became as much superior to angels as the glorious Name (title) which He has inherited is different from and more excellent than theirs.

7:7 In acts of blessing, the lesser is blessed by the greater.
6. A better hope brought us nearer to GOD

7:19 the law brought nothing to maturity. Another way—Jesus!—a way that does work, that brings us right into the presence of God, is put in its place.
7. We have a better testament
Hebrews 7:22 (Amplified Bible)
7:22 In keeping with [the oath’s greater strength and force], Jesus has become the Guarantee of a better (stronger) agreement [a more excellent and more advantageous covenant].
Our testament in our times are run by Grace not by Law.

I'm so blessed by the Greater GOD LORD JESUS CHRIST in every moment, in every opportunity of our life. Let CHRIST be Greater in me, while I become lesser and lesser.
