Messiah in Life

Hebrews Part 3

Justin D. Elwell, Th.D. Season 5 Episode 3

Hebrews: A Jewish Epistle in Contemporary Times, A Great Cloud of Witnesses Speaking

The author of Hebrews is writing to Jewish believers in Messiah Yeshua/Jesus who are considering turning back, to what? To the angels, to the Temple, to Moses, to Aaron, to the sacrifices, to their past. In a powerful and profound way, the author is speaking not only to the hearts of Jewish disciples who are wavering under the pressure of following Yeshua, but also to people today who are wavering in faith. 

In this episode we consider Hebrews 2:1-18, and how the Son of God, Yeshua/Jesus, became a little "lower than the angels" in order to save us.
