A Christmas Lesson Found in Hebrews

The Amazing Bible. Book Club

The writer of Hebrews explained that Jesus was better than the prophets, better than the angels, better than Moses, better than Joshua, and better than Aaron the high priest. The new covenant in Jesus is better than the old covenant, and better than the tabernacle. It confirms our salvation in Christ, and in Christ we are being made holy. The writer of Hebrews also explains why Christ came. He explained why God the Father sent the Son, the firstborn son, and that was so there could be more sons and daughters in the family of God. Jesus was both fully God and fully human, so that in his birth, life, suffering, death, resurrection, and ascension, He "became the source of eternal salvation for all who obey Him (4:9). 10:14, "Because by one sacrifice He has made perfect forever those who are being made holy." So then, those people of the OT who lived by faith, and those in the NT and beyond who live by faith, will be a part of the family of God, and only together will we all be made perfect. That is why the writer of Hebrews encouraged those who profess to be Christians, to fix their eyes on Jesus, to not grow weary, and to not lose heart, because Jesus sat down with God the Father, and He will come again to make His family, and His eternal kingdom complete!
