The book of Hebrews is written to a church facing intensifying pressure for following Jesus. Some are tempted to retreat to Judaism and abandon Christ as a way of trying to please God while avoiding the costs and challenges that often come in this world to those who remain faithful to Christ. The book of Hebrews reminds us that without faith in Jesus, it is impossible to please God because Jesus is better than anything else that would try to compete for our attention or our affections. Today, even in our own country, the pressures that come to those who live for Jesus are growing, and we can learn much from Hebrews about how we can live for God by enjoying the blessings and benefits that are available to us only through Jesus. Comes join us as we see the various way that Jesus is better!
