Hebrews is often considered one of the most difficult books in the New Testament to interpret, second only to Revelation. That’s because Hebrews is very dependent on the Old Testament for much of what the author has to say to Jewish Christians who have come upon hard times and are considering bailing out on their Christian commitment to return to Judaism. This letter’s recipients were wondering whether following Christ was worth the persecution. In effect, the author of Hebrews urged them, “Yes it is! Keep going. Don’t turn back. Jesus is worth the trouble.” That’s also the same message Hebrews offers to anyone today who is encountering opposition in the Christian faith and thinking of throwing in the towel. Some things are worth the struggle, and some things aren’t. But Jesus definitely is! The author has a lot to say about how Jesus is superior to the Old Testament sacrificial system. Hebrews will rev up your faith in Christ and His unshakeable kingdom. Following Him is worth it. 5 Lessons from the Book of Hebrews | Tony Evans #shorts #hebrews #newtestament #tonyevans ___________________________________________________________ ▶ Do you know Jesus as your Savior? https://tonyevans.org/know-jesus-christ/ ▶ Stream Sermons: https://tonyevans.org/podcast/ ▶▶ Free Sermon App: https://subsplash.com/tonyevans/app/ ▶▶ DONATE: https://give.tonyevans.org/the-alternative/donation ▶ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/drtonyevans/ ▶ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drtonyevans/ ▶ Are you a preacher?
