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.

      3      Jesus, High Priest of a Better Covenant                              

              Hebrews 7:1 – Hebrews 8:13

Melchizedek was king of Salem and an exalted high priest prior to Aaron and the Levitical priesthood. How did he provide a foreshadowing of Jesus as High Priest? What was still missing that Jesus provided for completion?

     10     Jesus, The Superior Sacrifice                                                 

              Hebrews 9:1 – Hebrews 10:18

The process of sacrifices being offered within the sanctuary were followed by the Jews and honored by God in the Old Testament. The sacrificial blood of Jesus set up a new sanctuary. How did Jesus’ spilt blood create a different request for interaction with God? What is now expected and asked of us?
 

     17     The Call to Faith                                                                       

              Hebrews 10:19 – Hebrews 11:40

We are called to be bold in our faith. How do we do that? What does it look like? Who served as models of faith in the Bible? Who serves as models of faith for us today? Where can we look to be encouraged in our faith walk?

      24   The Call to Endurance                                                              

              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?

     31     Final Exhortations                                                                   

              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.
