"As we begin this study, it seems almost as though the 1st chapter of this book is missing. The writer immediately begins to lay out an impressive argument about the superiority of Jesus Christ. For the author, whoever he is, Jesus is clearly the answer to every one of life’s problems."

Hebrews 1:4-14

January 18, 2019

"Part of the problem in the early church, especially when they were being persecuted, is that because Jesus was a man, it was easy to think of angels as superior. It’s true that He was 100% man—we must never forget that. Later, in this book, we are going to see why that is so important... But He was also 100% God and that’s why we must avoid the tendency to worship angels. Though they are, at least until we go to be with Jesus, superior to us in almost every way, they have never been the sole object of God’s love. They are holy and pure (at least God’s angels are). They are powerful, supernatural beings. Never forget that it was people God died for, not angels."

Hebrews 2:1-4

January 25, 2019

"As we study these warnings beginning here, I want to make 2 critical points: 1st, Real Christians cannot lose their salvation; 2nd, only God knows whether or not they had it in the first place! Galatians tells us that God cannot be mocked (fooled). He alone knows for sure. Here is the key: Jesus (Mt.7:23, speaking of professing believers) said, 'Away from me. I never knew you…' The issue in heaven has always been whether or not Jesus knows you, not the other way around... "

Hebrews 2:4-13

"This is where our author shifts the focus of his argument to the humanity of Jesus. He is superior to angels (who they worshiped) because He is God; that has already been demonstrated. But He is also human—we must never forget that."
