HEBREËRS 1:2-4

When Jesus died on the cross, His blood ran from the pillars of wood to the very depths of our spirits. We were finally reunified with God, who speaks to us through a universal language that directly translates to our situation — no matter who we are, no matter where we came from, and no matter what walls divide us. He bled out so all could come in!

Die meeste van ons is nie vertroud met die rol van ʼn hoofpriester nie, so wanneer Jesus so beskryf word in die Woord kyk ons dit maklik mis – dit is net nog een van sy vele titels. Godfrey Mmagawo sien dit egter heeltemal anders. In hierdie 4-dag leesplan verduidelik hy hoe ʼn skynbaar onbelangrike stukkie Joodse kultuur groot implikasies het vir hoe ons deesdae met kultuur omgaan.

In this five-day reading plan, Dr. Tony Evans will journey with you through the first section of Hebrews (1:1—3:6) and discuss Jesus: The Superior Person. Hebrews was written to encourage believers to never give up. So, if you have ever faced discouragement in your journey of faith, then this is the book you should study to find encouragement and hope to finish the race of faith well.

Jesus — Is there anyone greater? NO! This is Part One of Nine devotional plans walking us through the Book of Hebrews. This first part sets the stage of Jesus’ Greatness and shows what sets Him apart. God’s people faced a tough choice — follow Jesus and lose everything, or go back. Is following Jesus worth losing so much? We find ourselves asking — and responding — to the same question today.
