Hebrews: the just shall live by faith
Review: A Great Read A well-written Bible study on the Epistle of Hebrews. A good study for reflection on each chapter. Each chapter is well explained and easy to understand. A prayer after each chapter makes this book a book of devotion. I am on the ARC team. I leave an honest review. I recommend this book to other readers, Sharmani Jeyaram, Amazon, 5 out of 5 stars
Foreword Archbishop Ng Moon Hing Anglican Archbishop of Southeast Asia The author here rightly appreciates and points out that the Author of the Book of Hebrews has intended to present Jesus Christ as the Son of God who is the Priest, Prophet and King. Jesus is the True High Priest of the order of Melchizedek, the True Prophet who is before and after Moses, and the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. He did not mince his words on the Redemptive Work of Christ for the salvation of humankind, especially to the Jewish brethren in his time. It was deliberate because of the confusion and syncretic belief of some of the first century Jewish Christians where the New Testament writers called them the 'Circumcision Party' who went around to Christian circles forcing them to follow the Mosaic laws for salvation. The author has also highlighted the focus of the Book of Hebrews and took the liberty to reiterate that Jesus Christ is the full measure and has superiority over the Old Testament worship, Moses, Aaron, the Law, the Tabernacle, the Sacrifices, the Priesthood, and the Ceremonies. These were only prototypes of the Real and True Worship that we today are privileged to enter and engage without fear or favour. Christ is truly the beginning and the end, the alpha and the omega. He is the unchangeable Son of God who is the Creator of the universe and loves us so much hence, He offered Himself as the Perfect Sinless Sacrifice of God to forgive and redeem us back to God. Hallelujah!
