Hebrews

The Book of Hebrews is an anonymous, high-level theological treatise written to Jewish Christians who were being tempted to abandon their faith in Christ and return to the familiar practices and rituals of Judaism. The core theme of the book is the superiority of Jesus Christ over every person, element, or institution of the Old Covenant. The author systematically argues that Jesus is superior to the Old Testament prophets, Moses, the angels, the High Priesthood, the sacrificial system, and the Old Covenant itself. It provides an extended discussion of Jesus as the great High Priest and the "better covenant" He established. The book concludes with a powerful call to faith and perseverance, urging believers to draw near to God with confidence.
