The Core Message of Hebrews—Becca Fletcher, April 2006

The core message of Hebrews is that

Christ became human and in his weakness he overcame sin, so now we can relate to him and look to him as the ultimate sacrifice.
He has become the reality of the Old Testament picture of the promise.
- In him there is the new tabernacle which is God’s direct presence—Jesus’ blood is the sacrifice.
- This is the new promise and covenant.
And so we can live in the promise today
- and rest in the promise
- and hold on to Christ in the hard times
- with faith that we will receive our inheritance in the things (promises) that are unseen,
- and in this promise we can live a life of Christ and love one another.
