Hebrews: The Better Way | Video DevotionalSample

Prepare Your Heart

Welcome to Hebrews: The Better Way. Before you journey through the book of Hebrews, watch the short overview video below. The book of Hebrews was written to Jewish believers who were being persecuted for following Jesus. Through their Scriptures, priests, and prophets, God had given the Jewish people good things: a law, a homeland, and a sacrificial system that brought them close to God. But these good things always pointed to something better. The law pointed to a better word, the homeland pointed to a better kingdom, and the sacrificial system pointed to a better cure for sin. In Jesus, all these better things have come. Now these Jewish believers must decide: will they hold onto what is merely good, or will they endure persecution to receive what is better in Jesus?

Reflect

Next, we invite you to read a central part of the book of Hebrews. Hebrews 10:19-23 shows us that Jesus’ once-for-all sacrifice has opened the way into God’s presence, giving us the confidence to draw near with full assurance and clean hearts. We are to live as people already made holy by Jesus, to persevere in faith, and to remember that the race of faith we are running is grounded in Jesus’ perfect work—not our performance. This passage reminds us that our access to God isn't built on repeated sacrifices or ritual purity, but on the finished work of Jesus—our faithful priest and unshakable hope.

What's Next?

Each day of this reading plan, you will watch a short video that walks you through the book of Hebrews, showing how Jesus' life, death, and resurrection offer a final, perfect solution to sin and separation from God—the better and only way.

Each day, you will see the same three things:

1. What’s Happening?

This section explains what is going on in the text.

3. A Time of Prayer

This is a short prayer meant to propel you into Scripture to see the good news of Jesus for yourself.

We hope this journey transforms you. Our prayer is that the Holy Spirit would open your eyes to see the beauty of Jesus in all of Scripture.
