Hebrews

The study of the book of Hebrews is an extremely interesting study that will challenge and clarify your concepts of the entire Bible. It will enrich your appreciation for the priesthood of Christ. It will establish and confirm new views about Christ, His claims, and the Biblical rights to those claims. The book of Hebrews will set forth the benefits that come from a strong faith and conviction in Christ’s present ministry. This book outlines the privileges Christian people enjoy because of who Christ is and what He did. 

Several topics of interest will be discussed by the author. Not only will we see the failures of the old system, but we will also see the glories of the new. And the glories of the new will cover a number of distinguishing qualities that are characteristic of Christianity. These qualities will be presented in logical order. The topics and their general locations are listed as follows:

1. The deity of Christ – Hebrews 1

2. The humanity of Christ – Hebrews 2

3. The priesthood of Christ – Hebrews 7

4. The covenant of Christ – Hebrews 8

5. The sanctuary of Christ – Hebrews 9

6. The sacrifice of Christ – Hebrews 10.

7. The blending of all these qualities together with an explanation of the Christian privilege under the new order of things – Hebrews 10

We must understand that the author is dealing with a people that have been living, as far as their heritage is concerned, under the Mosaic system for 1500 years. And now he must convince them that their time-honored system has been abolished. So he must explain the removal of that system, and he will justify his argument for its removal from the Scriptures, and in particular, from the Old Testament itself! For the writer to affirm the removal of the Law of Moses is one thing, but when Moses himself and the Old Testament prophets affirmed that same fact, it is a source of proof that no Hebrew could afford to reject!
