Hebrews: A Book of Better Things
At the start of this series, we set out to discover that everything about Jesus is better because Jesus has no comparison. There is no one like Him, and what He offers is beyond anything or anyone else.
Through this journey in Hebrews, we’ve seen how Jesus is better than the angels, better than Moses, and better than the old covenant priesthood. He has given us a better promise, a better hope, a better life, and a better future. The writer of Hebrews urged us not to drift, not to turn back, but to fix our eyes on Jesus, knowing that even in hardship, He is worth holding on to.
Some may have started this series feeling worn out, uncertain, or even close to giving up. Hebrews has reminded us that Jesus is our great High Priest who understands our struggles, our perfect sacrifice who has made a way for us, and our faithful guide who leads us into God’s promises.
These are some of the challenges we have discovered in the series:
• Will we draw near to God with confidence?
• Will we hold unswervingly to the hope we profess?
• Will we persevere in faith, knowing that He who promised is faithful?
Jesus is better. He always has been, and He always will be.
