Introduction
It’s not known who wrote this letter, but it was sent to a group of Jewish believers. It was written so that their faith would be strengthened because they were in danger of losing their faith due to their sufferings. So then, the writer encouraged them concerning their faith and taught them that Yeshua is the true messiah and God’s final revelation.
These three truth were carefully taught: (1) Yeshua who had no beginning and has no ending is God’s son and he’s greater than any or all of the prophets, or messengers, or even Moses. (2) Yeshua has been revealed by God as the final priest, greater than any priest in the Hebrew scriptures. (3) By means of Yeshua, those who believe in him can be saved from sin and death.
The faith of famous Hebrews from long ago is written about in chapter 11. So then, the writer encourages the believers to strengthen of their faith. And in chapter 12, he encourages them again to continue their walk until the end when we all see Yeshua. They need to continue despite any persecution and discouragements that come to them. But it’s necessary to know that God disciplines them all as his own children. He finishes this letter with his advice and his warning.
