BETTER: The Letter to the Hebrews
Wednesdays, 10.30 am at St Thomas'.
For all the parishes. No expert knowledge required!
The Letter to the Hebrews seems a daunting prospect; it contains such detailed arguments about angels, Melchizedek (who's he?) and the place of the old covenant (BC).
It is written to give us heart, to assure us that even though Old Testament saints enjoyed a true relationship with God and trusted in the promises of God, what we have now in Christ is - Better. Christ is the final Word from God to us, and has finished his work of securing salvation for us. Although rooted in ancient promises, the Letter to the Hebrews is a message for today.
