Messiah in Life

Hebrews Part 12

Justin D. Elwell, Th.D. Season 5 Episode 12

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 6:4-12, and a stern warning given to all generations concerns departing the faith. What did this mean then, and what does it mean now?
