Hebrews

DESCRIPTION

Many Jewish believers, having stepped out of Judaism into Christianity, wanted to reverse their course in order to escape persecution by their countrymen.  The writer of Hebrews exhorts them to “press on” to maturity in Christ.  His appeal is based on the superiority of Christ over the Judaic system.  Christ is better than the angels, for they worship Him.  He is better than Moses, for Moses was created by Him.  He is better than the Aaronic priesthood, for His sacrifice was once for all time.  He is better than the Law, for He mediates a better covenant.  In short, there is more to be gained by suffering for Christ than by reverting to Judaism.  Pressing on to maturity produces tested faith, self-discipline, and a viable love seen in good works.

Michael teaches on the book of Hebrews.
