Jesus is the supreme and sufficient revelation and mediator of God’s grace for mankind. That is the theme and emphasis given from the writer of The Epistle to the Hebrews. This letter, written around 65 A.D., was addressed primarily to Jewish converts who were familiar with the Old Testament and were being tempted to convert to Judaism or to Judaize the Gospel. Confirmation of Jesus Christ, as Messiah, establishing the new covenant, along with practical applications, fills Hebrews with truth and encouragement to follow Him as Lord and Master.

              Hebrews 12:1-29

We are called to persevere and endure within our walk of faith. We are called to welcome instruction and discipline. We are called to not grow weary and not be shaken. How and where do we find strength to remain faithful through discouraging times?

              Hebrews 13:1-25

As a final summary of all that had been stated in previous chapters of Hebrews, we are encouraged to follow the teachings of Jesus. We are encouraged to keep our eyes focused upon Him and trust Him. His promises are true. We are to love others as He has loved us.
