The Verdict is In (1 of 28)
Series: Jesus - Greatest Of All Time
Tim Badal
Hebrews 1:1-4
It' my great privilege to start our new series-The Greatest of All Time-looking at the book of Hebrews. Please open God's Word as we begin this new series that we 're going to dedicate the rest of this school year looking at. This series is focused on teaching us what we need to learn about a group of first-century believers who were having a difficult time. They were thinking about giving up on their faith. Following Jesus had grown too difficult and distressing for them, so many were going to return to their roots in Judaism.
Hebrews is one of only a few anonymous books in all of Scripture. This author writes that when they fix their eyes on Jesus, the Author and Perfecter of their faith (Hebrews 12:2), they would persevere and shine like stars. Now as we look at these 13 chapters, they are one long written sermon, from which we will be looking at two truths that emerge:
While we don't know who the author is, we do know that he knew a lot about the Old Testament. We know that he loved the Old Testament, the work and religion of Judaism, as well as all that came with being a Jewish follower. But what he loved even more was Jesus Christ. He longed to tell his brothers and sisters in Christ how much he loved and how much he had grown to know about Jesus. The focus of this book is to tell all who will listen that Jesus Christ is in fact the greatest of all time.
Now, as we look at this letter, we will also see that it is going to make much of Jesus. It's going to tell us that His name is above every other name, that knowing Jesus is going to lead us each and every day to the greatest joy, confidence and endurance that we need to make this life abundant, no matter how difficult it can be at times. So to that end, we are going to explore Hebrews under the heading, ''Jesus, the Greatest of All Time.''
Now that line-The Greatest of All Time-is one of the biggest ...
