The Core Message of HebrewsBecca 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 presenceJesus’ 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.
