Messiah in Life
Hebrews Part 23
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 10:19-31, and a very stern warning regarding "drifting away." The author draws upon the overarching theme of Yom Kippur in order to establish the mystery of grace, then points to the One Who is greater than Yom Kippur, Messiah Yeshua/Jesus.
