Jesus Is Better

The book of Hebrews is a letter of great exhortations given to the first century Christians restoring their confidence in Christ Jesus and stimulating growth toward maturity in service to Him and their fellow brethren. The writer plunges immediately into the major theme of the book forgoing any introduction of himself or the purpose of his letter. Just within the first few verses, the superiority of Christ and His message is made very clear. The writer continues this theme throughout the majority of this letter. In a logical progression, He makes the case for Christ’s superiority over all aspects of God’s dealings with man in the past. Christ is a better spokesman for God, and is a better High Priest. His lineage is better than that of the Levitical priesthood; He is God’s Son. Christ is the mediator of a better covenant established by His own blood. And finally, Christ is the author and finisher of our faith so we as Christians should look only to Him for our salvation. Therefore, “let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.” (Heb. 10:22). Join us as we consider the superiority of Christ from Hebrews.
