✨ The
Story of Hebrews — Jesus, Our High Priest and Foundation of Faith
Part One:
Jesus, Superior to the Angels
Hebrews opens by showing that God has
spoken through His Son, Jesus:
“In the past God spoke to our ancestors
through the prophets at many times and in various ways, but in these last days
He has spoken to us by His Son.”
- Jesus
is greater than angels and all previous messengers
- He is
God’s ultimate revelation to humanity
Part Two:
Jesus, the Perfect High Priest
Jesus is the perfect High Priest,
offering a permanent sacrifice for sins:
- He
represents humanity before God
- He
suffered, was tempted, and sympathizes with our weaknesses
- His
sacrifice is complete, unlike repeated sacrifices under the old covenant
“For by one sacrifice He has made perfect
forever those who are being made holy.”

in Jesus brings forgiveness and access to God
Part Three:
Faith and Endurance
The letter encourages believers to hold
fast to their faith:
- Trust
God even in difficult times
- Follow
the example of faithful people from the past
- Persevere,
knowing God’s promises are trustworthy
“Now faith is confidence in what we hope for
and assurance about what we do not see.”
- Faith
sustains and strengthens believers through trials
Part Four:
Jesus, the Fulfillment of God’s Promises
Hebrews emphasizes that Jesus fulfills all
God’s promises:
- The
old covenant pointed to Him
- He
brings a better hope and eternal inheritance
- Believers
are called to approach God with confidence through Him
“Let us then approach God’s throne of grace
with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our
time of need.”
- Jesus
is the bridge between God and humanity
Part Five:
Lessons from Hebrews

- Jesus
is superior to all and the ultimate revelation of God

sacrifice brings forgiveness and eternal life

and perseverance are essential in following God
