An exposition of the letter to the Hebrews

Geoff Mitchell

164 pages

The letter to the Hebrews is very relevant to the Christian. It shows that Jesus is so much better than the Old Covenant given through Moses. Jesus is better than the angels, and in Christ there is a better hope, a better covenant which is established on better promises, better sacrifices, a better and enduring possession, a better, that is, a heavenly country and a better resurrection.

 The letter is also a source of many uplifting passages, for example:

• The role of the angels in ministering to the heirs of salvation
• How Jesus understands our humanity through personal experience
• The definition of faith illustrated by many examples
• The advice to keep our eyes fixed upon our leader and not to give way under trial
• The description of Jesus as the great Shepherd of the sheep
