Hebrews was written to tell us to persevere, to keep going, to focus on our great high priest, and to run with patience the race set before us.,These Hebrews had confessed Jesus Christ as Savior and been faithful in the past, but now they faced a whole new wave of persecution.,The writer of Hebrews exhorted them to remain strong in Him who is greater than anything or anyone in the Old Testament. Jesus is truly our great High Priest, who instituted a new and better covenant and who ever lives to make intercession for His people. Words such as better, more, great, and greater appear about forty-five times in this book, making Hebrews a book of superlatives about Jesus, who is superior to all the angels, prophets, writers, systems and sacrifices of Old Testament days.,Hebrews tells us to hold firm to our faith, keeping our eyes on our Great High Priest, and to persevere, never giving up. With Jesus Christ on our side, it's always too soon to quit.
