Hebrews 5:12-6:6 – Growing in Christ

The Hebrews writer puts aside for the time being his discussion of Jesus’ role as our Great High Priest, and His relationship with Melchizedek – the priest and king of Salem, and takes up a brief exhortation for all believers to beware of growing stagnant in our spiritual lives, pointing out the need for us to continually grow in Christ. We then tackle one of the most difficult passages in the entire Word of God as the writer warns that those who fall away from the faith cannot possibly be redeemed again.

Hebrews 4:14-5:11 – Jesus Our High Priest (Part 1)

Now having thoroughly examined the concept of Jesus as the Living Word of God, we take up the idea that is the central tenet of the letter to the Hebrews – Jesus’ role as our great and compassionate High Priest.

Hebrews 4:3-11 – Come to Me Those Who Are Weary

Our concluding study of the Hebrews writer’s exhortation for us not to follow in the disbelief of the Israelites who disobeyed God’s command to go up from Egypt and conquer the promised land of Canaan. In this study, we examine God’s promised rest.

Hebrews 3:7-4:2 – Do Not Harden Your Hearts

In Hebrews 3:7-4:2, the author uses the Israelite’s failure to obey God in the wilderness after the exodus from Egypt as a cautionary tale for us not to harden our hearts to the Gospel message lest we not be able in the end to enter into God’s rest.

Hebrews 3:1-6 – Faithfulness to Our Heavenly Calling

Having detailed the path of suffering, death, and resurrection to which Christ followers have received a heavenly calling, the Hebrews writer continues with an exhortation to remain faithful to our calling just as God’s servant, Moses, and the LORD Jesus Himself were faithful to theirs.

Hebrews 2:9-18 – Jesus Restored to Glory Preparing the Way for Us

Having come in the flesh of a man, Jesus went to the cross for the redemption of all mankind from judgment for our sins. Then, being raised from the dead, Jesus is restored to His former glory, and has led the way for us to turn from our sins, and overcome death just as He has through faith in Him.

Hebrews 2:5-8 – Jesus Made a Little Lower Than the Angels

Having made the case of Jesus’ divinity, and given a strong admonishment not to disregard the Gospel of salvation in Christ preached by the prophets, the angels, Jesus Himself, and His disciples. The author of Hebrews now discusses Jesus’ dominion over all Creation, His incarnation in the flesh of a man, and our inability to perceive in our flesh His universal dominion because of the rampant evil presently in the world.

Hebrews 1:14-2:4 – A Call to Heed the Preaching of the Gospel of Salvation Through Faith in Christ

Having explained Jesus – God the Son’s relationship with the created angels and all creation, the Hebrews writer now turns his focus to the message of salvation through faith in Jesus. The writer admonishes us all to heed the preaching of this Gospel delivered by the prophets, the angels, the LORD Himself, and His disciples, which is confirmed by God through signs, wonders, miracles, and the pouring out of His Holy Spirit – as prophesied by Joel, promised by Jesus before His ascension, and fulfilled on the day of Pentecost after Jesus ascended to the right hand of the Father in Heaven.

Hebrews 1:4-13 – Jesus’ Superiority Over Angels

Picking up our study in Hebrews at Chapter 1, Verse 4, we find a short discussion of Jesus’ superiority to angels, with Old Testament references used to convince the letter’s Jewish recipients of that superiority. Presumably, the author found a need to make this argument due to some misconception about Jesus’ relationship with the angels that was then prevalent among the Messianic Jewish congregation(s) to whom the letter was sent.
