GREATER THAN (A STUDY IN THE BOOK OF HEBREWS) WEEK 06 - DARING TO BE DIFFERENT

Today, really is going to be about just one verse - and, really, mainly only one word.

It’s a powerful word - but one that I think we don’t fully understand in many Christian circles. I think it would benefit us greatly to take this time before we barrel ahead in the Book of Hebrews to makes sure we get what the NT authors meant when they use this particular word.

So here’s the verse:  HEBREWS 3:1 “Therefore holy brothers you who share in the heavenly calling, consider Jesus the apostle and high priest of our confession…”

There you go - obviously throughout our study we will definitely be doing that - considering Jesus. And next week we will see what it means for Jesus to be apostle and high priest. And I should remind you here that this is the purpose of the book - to encourage these Hebrew converts to the Way to NOT go back to the Law to rely on it to save them. The whole meta-message of the letter is to show that Jesus is enough.
