A Layman's Look at the "Book of Hebrews"

By: C. O. Bishop

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

The Book of Hebrews is one of the most difficult and most delightful books in the New Testament, especially for Gentile readers, as it is primarily addressed to the Hebrew professing believers.
It dips deeply into Old Testament history, and it makes seven comparisons between important Old Testament Persons, Practices, or Things, and in every case, proves Jesus to be superior in every way.
Because it deals with Old Testament truth, it is easy to misunderstand. We need to pay careful attention, to see what it actually says, and not misunderstand. As we learn what the book actually teaches, it becomes a source of deep delight, satisfaction, security, and peace.
It also offers seven warnings to professing believers who have not settled their faith: they are on the verge, but not committed. To those persons, the Writer offers warnings that grow stronger and stronger, letting them know that they are still in danger, whereas those who have truly placed their dependence on Jesus Christ are eternally secure.
Finally, to the believers, he offers about forty exhortations, encouraging them to live out their faith in Full Obedience to Christ. The book of Hebrews is a total blessing to study, and I trust that this book will help others to more deeply appreciate God's Word
