Three Minute Thoughts

Jesus offers one sacrifice for all time instead of a sacrifice that needs repeated.

The writer to the Hebrews talks of a man from the Old Testament known as Melchizedek. Why is he so important? And how does Jesus compare?

The writer to the Hebrews differentiates between types of teaching and when we need one kind versus another.

Jesus is better. That's pretty much all you need to know to look at Hebrews 3-4.

The book known as Hebrews has no specified author and very little extra detail is given. It's a different approach than we're used to with this kind of writing.

Paul could pat himself on the back in so many ways, instead he approaches this from a little different perspective.

Paul reminds the Philippian church that his imprisonment isn't for nothing and that when we have the right focus (Jesus) then even the hardest times are manageable.

When we have the right 'why' then we'll be able to endure some pretty interesting things. If we're in it for ourselves, then we'll likely not stand the test of time.

Paul reminds us that the gospel has unique power and ability and its intended recipients are a broader group than we might think.
