The Layman's Guide to HEBREWS

The Letter to the Hebrews points believers to the author and finisher of our faith -- Jesus Christ our Lord. In Hebrews he is depicted as Son of God as well as the one who humbled himself to be human, "made like his brothers in every way." He is both our Sacrifice for sin as well as our merciful High Priest who brings us to God and strengthens us when we are weak. The book explains the costliness and the completeness of our salvation. Hebrews is one of the most powerful books in the New Testament. But we know little about its origins, authorship, recipients, and date, though some of these can be surmised.
