You may have heard someone say- “The Bible is a book about
Jesus” – nowhere is that more true than in the book of Hebrews. This ancient letter was probably a
sermon written to a struggling congregation of Jewish followers of Christ. These young Christians were obviously
thinking of turning from Christ back to an old system of religion. But before we judge them too harshly we need
to step back and examine our own relationship with Jesus. Do we at times live like it’s Jesus plus
“something”? Do we really and truly
understand that Jesus is superior to every form of religion or religious
teacher/leader who has ever lived? Do we
sometimes drift from the truth that Jesus is supposed to be the blazing sun in
the center of our universe?
The book of Hebrews was written for people who have the
propensity to “drift”. In other words,
it was written for everybody. In Hebrews
the author shows us that there is nothing that compares to Jesus and this is a
truth that we need to be reminded of. Our hope is that as we read and pray through
the book of Hebrews together, your heart would be filled with the truth that
JESUS is GREATER!
