Hebrews Explained: Why You Must Hold Fast to Jesus

Why would you go back when you have already come to Jesus?The Letter to the Hebrews was written to people who had already believed, already suffered, and already paid a price for their faith. But years later, they were under pressure to turn back.Hebrews gives them one answer:Look at Jesus.He is greater than the prophets. Greater than the angels. Greater than Moses. He is the true High Priest. His sacrifice was once for all. His work is finished.The priests stood day after day, offering sacrifices that could never fully take away sin.Jesus sat down.Because the work was finished.This sermon traces the central argument of Hebrews from Chapter 1 through Chapter 13, from the superiority of Christ, to the warning against drifting, to the faith of Hebrews 11, to the race of Hebrews 12, and finally to the command to hold fast.You have not come to Sinai.You have come to Mount Zion.So what are you being asked to go back to?If you're struggling with doubt, spiritual drift, temptation, suffering, or simply wondering whether your faith is worth holding onto, Hebrews has a message for you:Hold fast.Not because you are strong enough.Because he is faithful."Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful."Hebrews 10:23#Hebrews #Jesus #BibleStudy
