“Hebrews sets Jesus above everything the Jewish believers were tempted to go back to. Jesus is better than the prophets, better than angels, better than the law, better than Moses, better than Joshua, better than the priesthood, better than the temple, and better than the sacrifices. The letter strengthens teetering faith by saying, again and again, that Jesus is not just another part of the old system. Jesus is the King of glory, the final sacrifice, the mediator of a better covenant, and the One who makes all the promises of God sure.”
