A Body You Prepared (Hebrews 10:1-10)
If a certain activity accomplishes its purpose or intent, there is no point in continuing it. The reason for the activity has been accomplished. For example, if we have succeeded in lifting an animal out of a hole by means of a rope, there is no reason to continue pulling on the rope. The rope […]
Two Sacrifices (Hebrews 9:16-28)
Many people are offended by the teachings of Christianity. Perhaps the most objectionable teaching is that Jesus Christ sacrificed His life for ours. The Apostle Paul writes, “Jews demand miraculous signs and Greeks look for wisdom, but we preach Christ crucified: a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles,” (1 Corinthians 1:22-23 NIV) Regardless of […]
Two Tabernacles (Hebrews 9:1-15)
Some ideas and concepts are hard to understand. This is particularly true in regard to spiritual things. God is our Creator and is beyond our understanding. Nevertheless, it is important that we understand some things about Him. God wants us to know Him and He wants to restore the relationship which we have broken because […]
Superior Ministry – Superior Covenant (Hebrews 8:3-13)
In the first seven chapters, the writer of the inspired book in the Bible called Hebrews demonstrates that Jesus is superior to angels and Moses. Jesus has a higher position than anyone else. He is seated at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven. Jesus has also been appointed as our […]
He Meets Our Need (Hebrews 7:23-8:2)
Why does anyone need to follow Jesus? Didn’t God already give His Law to us through Moses? Didn’t God already establish priests by the Law to intercede for us and to offer sacrifices to atone for our sins? Since this is so, why did God find it necessary to establish a different priesthood? Why did […]
A Better Hope (Hebrews 7:11-22)
Mankind’s greatest problem is not poverty or the unequal distribution of resources. It is not the prevalence of disease. It is not even the pursuit of peace which seems to elude each generation. No, mankind’s greatest problem is separation from God because of sin. God is holy and righteous. There is no evil in Him. […]
The Greatness of Melchizedek (Hebrews 7:1-10)
God is holy and righteous. There is no evil in Him. How then can we, who are sinners, ever approach Him or come into His presence? In our own strength we cannot. We need someone to intercede for us. The Bible tells us that God appointed Jesus to be High Priest. In His role as […]
A Solid Promise (Hebrews 6:13-20)
It is easy to become discouraged when it seems that there is no discernible return for our hard work. It is easy to lose heart when it takes a long time to receive what someone has promised us. God has made many promises to the followers of Christ. Among them are rest from the burdens […]
Don’t Fall Away! (Hebrews 6:4-12)
We receive many blessings from following Christ. Among them are being included in God’s household, help in overcoming temptation and the promise of eternal rest. However, these blessings come with a condition. We must continue to follow Christ. There are many who wish for the blessings but also want to live their lives for themselves. […]
Spiritual Maturity (Hebrews 5:11-6:3)
The book of Hebrews demonstrates that Jesus is the greatest of God’s messengers. He is greater than the angels. He is greater than Moses. He is our High Priest who has offered the ultimate sacrifice on our behalf. By means of His sacrifice, our sins are forgiven and our relationship with God is restored. Through […]
