BIBLE READING PLANNER

This Epistle, addressed first of all to Jewish (Hebrew) believers, sets out the supreme position of Jesus Christ above all that had gone before.

Jesus surpasses anyone or anything else, except for God. Jesus is the central pivot of the purpose of God, who has raised Jesus to the highest position in all creation.

He is the one promised in the Old Testament who will come again to fulfil the PROMISES and reward the faithful of all ages. (see chapter 11)

DAILY NOTES

SUNDAY - Hebrews 1 - God sent His word by the angels and the prophets, but best of all through his Son, Jesus (verse 1), who is greater than all.

MONDAY - Hebrews 2 - Although he was the Son of God, Jesus shared our nature so as to overcome 'the devil' (sin) and death (verse 14), and provide salvation for many (verse 10).

TUESDAY - Hebrews 3 - We need faith in the Son of God (verse 6) but, having believed, we must remain steadfast to the end (verse 14).

WEDNESDAY - Hebrews 4 - Joshua at the time when Israel entered the Promised Land did not give Israel eternal rest (verse 8) but Jesus will eventually provide it for his people (verses 9-11).

THURSDAY - Hebrews 5 - Although Jesus is the Son of God, he needed to learn obedience and to be saved from death (verse 8). But he will be a King-Priest like Melchizedek (verse 10). - See Genesis 14:18.

FRIDAY - Hebrews 10 - Jesus Christ is the perfect, final and only effective sacrifice for sin (verses 11-13). We need to have faith in this sacrifice (verse 38).
