Summary
This letter persuasively presents the distinctiveness of
Jesus Christ as the Son of God. The letter is primarily written
to Jewish Christians who were wavering between Judaism and
Christianity. Its primary message was to prove that Jesus
Christ was the fulfilment of all Old Testament prophecy and
symbol. With Christ as the fulfilment, there was no longer
a need to offer the animal sacrifices, etc., required under
the Mosaic Law. Christ is the High Priest and mediator of
all believers in all ages who look for the salvation of God.
Christ
The New and Living Way
Key
Verses "Therefore, brethren, having boldness to
enter the Holiest by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living
way, which he consecrated for us, though the veil, that is
, His flesh; and having a High Priest over the house of God,
let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith,
having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our
bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold fast the confession
of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful
. And let us consider one another in order to stir up love
and good works, not forsaking the assembling of ourselves
together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another,
and so much the more as you see the Day approaching".
