Top Highlights
“A theme running throughout Hebrews is that the world of the five senses is transitory, but true reality finds its basis in the unseen world. Faith is the means by which a Christian can grasp the invisible realm of the spirit and lay hold on the future fulfillment of God’s promises while he resides bodily in the physical world.” (Page 95)
“The author of Hebrews compared Christ to the angels in order to lay the foundation for his argument that Christianity is superior to Judaism. Although today’s average Gentile reader doesn’t realize it, the Jew believed that the Old Testament law (and thus his religion) was given by angels.” (Page 15)
“The purpose of this chapter is to show the reasonableness and necessity of Christ’s becoming a man.” (Page 21)
“faith down out of the clouds and onto the streets where we live.” (Page 91)
“God asserted Jesus to be His Son, and himself to be Jesus’ Father, a declaration that He never made of any of the angels” (Page 15)
