Hebrews 1:8-10

You may have asked … Isn’t being a Christian just about doing good, going to church, reading the Bible, and most of all, believing in Jesus—so we make sure heaven is where we go when we die? You may have asked … This life’s about what we can see, hear, and touch, isn’t it? These are great questions, and the truth will blow your mind. Think bigger.

What are you missing if you only read the Bible? We have long recognized that the Bible was written for us, but not to us, and requires us to make efforts to bridge the cultural gap between ourselves as readers and the writers of the ancient world. In this study, we will become aware of yet another gap that we must recognize and factor into our reading: we must bridge the modality gap between the written word and the oral word.

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.

As a Christian, you may have heard that your identity should be found in Jesus, but have you ever thought about what that actually means? It means that when you chose to believe in Jesus, you chose to make his story, your story. This week, as an introduction to finding your identity, we will first take a look at Jesus' role as prophet, priest and king.
