The Superiority of Jesus
Hebrews
David Brink | Associate Pastor
The book of Hebrews is believed to be addressed to a group of Jewish Christians who were entertaining the idea of returning to Old Testament Judaism. While that may be unfamiliar to us, I believe we can all think of a time where we were not sure we wanted to press on. The good news is that If you could sum up the entire book of Hebrews in a simple phrase, it might be something along the lines of ,“Jesus is superior.” He is our superior prophet, priest, and king. Even if we don’t yet fully understand all the implications of that, it is worth clinging to as we study it further.

Reflection Questions

  1. How does the fact that Jesus is God play a crucial role in understanding His superiority?
  2. How does each of these roles that Jesus fulfills have meaning for you even though you did not come out of Old Testament Judaism?
