III.
What else do we learn about Jesus? Heb. 2:5-9, 14-18. Someone has said, “If Jesus was not God he could not save. If he had

New Pulpit Series: “BUT WE SEE JESUS...” A Study of Hebrews
Hebrews is an anonymous letter written to 2nd-generation Jewish Christians. Its readers
were familiar with the Old Testament but not very confident of their position in Christ.
Some were professors but not yet possessors of faith. Some had back-slided while
others wanted to return to Judaism to escape increasing persecution.
How does the book of Hebrews settle the finality of Christianity and its superiority to all
other religions? What does it mean to us that Christ is the final revelation of God and the
mediator of a superior new covenant between God and man? Overcoming any
ignorance or lingering doubt, may we come away able to proclaim, “But we see Jesus the Author and Perfecter of our faith!”
