This week, we look at an important topic - we look up to as heroes. Hebrews shows us many people who walked in the faith and who held to their trust in God, and in life, there are many people we look up to and desire to live as they do. This week, we are reminded again, though, that our greatest hero is Jesus Himself and is the only one worth our greatest allegiance, admiration, and emulation. Jesus is our Greater Hero!

The key themes of Chapter Two include Unity in Christ, The Supremacy of Christ, Baptism as Covenant Sign, Freedom in Christ, and Victory through the Cross.
This week, we look at the reality that Jesus became the greater sacrifice. In the old sacrificial system, the sacrifices were unending. The blood of those sacrifices did not hold the power to wash away sin once and for all. John the Baptist said, “There is the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world”. The blood & sacrifice of Jesus is the greater sacrifice because it has the power to now, and always, redeem us from the curse of sin and death.

This week, we look at the greater Temple that Jesus now has inhabited. The Temple is where God dwelt in the Old Testament and the New Testament. You had to come to Him in order to worship, offer your sacrifices, and commune with God. When Jesus said, "it is finished," the temple curtain tore, and God left the building. Jesus then sent his spirit into our hearts, making us the greater Temple.
