Book of Hebrews

General Epistles

Unknown (Paul, Apollos, Luke debated)

Traditionally dated c. 60–68 AD

The supremacy of Christ over the Old Covenant.

Hebrews shows how Jesus is superior to angels, Moses, and the Aaronic priesthood, presenting His sacrifice as final and warning Jewish Christians not to drift back.

“And without faith it is impossible to please God. For anyone who approaches Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him.”

“And do not neglect to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased.”

“Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they watch over your souls as those who must give an account. To this end, allow them to lead with joy and not with grief, for that would be of no advantage to you.”

“Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off every encumbrance and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with endurance the race set out for us.”

“The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of His nature, upholding all things by His powerful word. After He had provided purification for sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high.”
