Our God, the God and Father of our Saviour and Lord, Jesus Christ, is a God who speaks. Our living God had spoken through the prophets many times, and in various ways, but there came that moment when He spoke to men through His Son, Jesus.

Jesus is God’s last word to the world. The final vital word God had to speak, He spoke it, in Jesus, and through Jesus.

God’s word is not just something you hear. It is someone you see.

An amazing letter was written to Hebrew disciples of Jesus. Today, these disciples would be called Messianic Jews. The letters of Peter and Jacob were also written by Messianic Jews. Paul would be regarded as a Messianic Jew.

We do not know who wrote this letter but what we do know is important.

These believers had not grown up. They had not matured. They were Jews who were holding onto Judaism, rather than Jesus Christ.

They had come out of their old religious ways, but not fully. This is why the letter has so much to teach us today.

The writer sounds many warnings. If you only come halfway you will tend to drift sooner or later.

Because of subtle external pressures these disciples of Jesus, who had had profound spiritual experiences, were being tempted to fall away, back into the familiar, or compromise here and there.

The letter to the Hebrews portrays Jesus as better and superior to anything that has gone before, and emphasises Christ’s uniqueness. It is absurd to try and place anyone else alongside Jesus Christ.

Many would consider that Jesus Christ is just one of the ways to God the Father, but Jesus says, “No man comes to the Father except through me”.

Now, that is solemn and serious, but true.
