Readings from Hebrews

The book of Hebrews is an anonymous letter (suggested authors have included Paul, Barnabas, and Apollos among others) that reads like a sermon with letter-like greetings at the conclusion. Its theme is that Jesus is better--better than angels, Moses, Joshua, Aaron, and the Levitical priesthood, with a better covenant and sacrifice; therefore, Christians should be careful not to fall away from him, into neither sin nor Judaism.

Read the following from Hebrews:

1:1-4      the nature of the Son

2:1-4      pay attention to great salvation

2:14-18    Jesus suffered and tempted

3:1-6      Jesus greater than Moses

3:12-15    do not have evil, unbelieving heart

4:8-16     sabbath rest / word of God / high priest without sin
