Jesus is better. Like the very first reader of this letter, we live in a world that simply does not believe that to be true. Although the context may be different the writer knows that in order to dwell in a world like this we must know God and our place in His story. The writer of Hebrews leaves us with a Christianity that is constantly in pursuit of Christ and what it looks like to believe that He is better and that He is enough.

The writer of Hebrews wastes no time answering the most important question in the world: Who is Jesus? The claims of scripture regarding Jesus are so outrageously beyond anything that people then and now could surmise on their own. If such claims were true then the reality of being associated with this Jesus would change everything.
