Faith is easy until it is tested. The letter of Hebrews is more like a sermon, delivered to a group of people who are thinking about giving up on the Christian faith. Sometimes, in our darkest of times, we too may question our faith. Hebrews is such a powerful letter because it was written to challenge a group of fragile believers to persevere in their commitment to Christ which of course also has application today. The author of Hebrews established Jesus’s credentials by stating that He is pre-existing and sovereign; He is the only sufficient sacrifice; and He understands our weaknesses and speaks in our defense. This is the Christ in whom we put our faith and hope, and He will never let us down. The audience of Hebrews, and all faithful believers then and now, are to persevere by fixing our eyes on Jesus, by imitating Godly examples, learning from God’s Word, and by allowing the Spirit of God to lead us. We are journeying toward a heavenly city!
