Hebrews: The Surpassing Worth of Jesus
Jesus (who he is or what he did) is better than: angels, Moses, human high priests, sin, the Old Covenant. Because Christ is superior to all these things, it is infinitely worth it to keep following him, by faith. The stakes are really high; Hebrews contains famous “warning passages” that remind readers that persevering in the faith is not something to be taken for granted. Hebrews speaks to us today because, though the specifics are different, life in our modern world makes it tougher and tougher to keep following him. Like the first century Hebrews, we need to remember again and again that Jesus is better, and it’s infinitely worth it to keep following him.
Behold Jesus, The Founder of Our Salvation
- He became lower than angels to restore our destiny
- He tasted death to bring many sons to glory
