Hebrews Its Message, Part-2 The Audience

The New Testament book of Hebrews is written to a church in the city of Rome which was comprised of persecuted Jewish Christians. This group of Christians, which numbered about 20 people or so, might be considered an insignificant church because it was only small. But this church was not treated as irrelevant by God who inspired this important document to be written to them. There are some powerful insights within Hebrews that present Jesus Christ as superior to angels, Moses, the Temple/Tabernacle, the Old Testament sacrifices and ceremonies, the Mosaic Law, the Aaronic Priesthood, and all of the Old Testament personalities.
