OCTOBER 11 READING…HEBREWS 1
The name of this book tells us that this epistle is primarily written to Christians who came out of Judaism. Its purpose is to clarify for these believers and for us that everything that came before from God was to point us to Messiah Jesus. Now that Messiah has come there is no purpose returning to those things that were a foreshadowing of Him. It’s not only that there is no reason to return to those things…it is wrong to return to those things, for in doing so it is a denial of the person and finished work of Christ. The letter starts off by referring to how God spoke to His people in the Old Testament time through the prophets. It then declares that God has now spoken finally through His Son. Jesus is our Prophet, and we need no other. He is the image of the invisible God, and He is before all things. He is our Redeemer, whose work is finished…so nothing can be added to it. He is above the angels…for the angels were created by God…and Jesus is the eternal God, the uncreated Creator. The angels are not the same as Jesus for He is the One and only Son of God.
Please share your thoughts.
