Description

The Jewish believers were torn between their new faith in Jesus and their old ways rooted in Old Testament routines and rituals. They were tempted to go back to their familiar life that seemed "good enough." But the author of Hebrews shows that when Jesus came, "the best got better."

The unknown author of Hebrews skillfully compares these believers' old ways and their new faith, arguing that Christ is better in every way. He focuses on Jesus, his effective ministry, and his ultimate sacrifice, showing us thatabsolutelynothingcompares to our incomparable Christ.

As you read, study, journal, and discuss the book of Hebrews, watch for these key themes that Max will unpack throughout the book:

• Jesus Christ brought about a whole new way of connecting with and following God.
• Jesus is our compassionate high priest.
• Faith is the connector between this life and the next.
