Lower than the angels?- The Jewish believers reading this letter probably needed some clarification on how Jesus was greater than the angels, but in His humanness was "a little lower" than them like you and I. Jesus temporarily lived a human life and tasted death for everyone, proving to be a "merciful and faithful High Priest."

Are you drifting?- Some religious systems claim that Jesus was an angelic being, but not the son of God. The author of Hebrews carefully lays out the case that Jesus was far superior to any angel. We must be careful not to neglect the reality of who Christ is, what He has done, and that He still speaks today.

To Hebrews- The epistle to the Hebrews was written to encourage Jewish believers who were wrestling with the consequences of transitioning from Judaism to Christianity. Many of them were persecuted by their countrymen for following Jesus. Who wrote the book of Hebrews?

You are witnesses- Jesus suffered, died, and rose again according to the scriptures. His message was a message of repentance and remission of sins. We are called to carry that message to the world around us as His witnesses. Are you seeking for a fresh filling of the Holy Spirit?

Peace to you- When Jesus first appeared to the disciples after his resurrection they were terrified. They thought Jesus might be a ghost. Just as Jesus fulfilled prophecy in His death and resurrection, we will see His promises about our future become a reality.

Divine heartburn- Jesus walked with two disciples on the road to Emmaus after his resurrection. Somehow, the disciples had no clue it was Jesus they were speaking with. Jesus is always with us, but we can't feel His presence sometimes. Why is that?

He is risen, but where is He?- Mary Magdalene and other women who were followers of Jesus came to His tomb and found it empty. When the disciples heard from the women that Jesus was risen they were skeptical to say the least.

Open veil, closed tomb- When Jesus died on the cross the veil in the temple was torn in two. Every follower of Jesus has the same access to His presence because of that work. Joseph of Arimathea risked his reputation for a dead Jesus. We now serve a living Christ.

A divine transaction- Somehow, while darkness covered the earth, Jesus experienced God's wrath on the cross for the sin of humanity. Did Jesus descend into Hell after His death on the cross?

Lord, remember me- Two criminals were crucified on either side of Jesus. One cried out for mercy, the other mocked Him. If anyone cries out in the name of Jesus, they can be saved. It is a gift of grace that cannot be earned or deserved.
