#172 The Book of Hebrews, God’s eternal plans made real in the church and in us

Hebrews has a reputation for being a difficult book to understand and it is if you simply pull it out of context and without at least some knowledge of the Old Testament that it is based on, try to figure out what it is talking about.

This is sad because Hebrews was intended to be a book of explanation—of how Jesus fulfilled all that was pictured in the Old Testament, how His life was the reality of what was promised before.

But if you don’t know what the Old Testament promised and pictured about the coming Messiah, you’ll have a hard time understanding Hebrews.

This lesson will help you understand the messages in it. This lesson is a little longer and more complex than some because it covers some complex topics, but it is well worth your time to read, listen, or watch it to help you grow as a disciple of Jesus.

The lesson is also a great example of WHY it is so important for you to read your Bible, your entire Bible in chronological, historical order to be able to understand it.

Bible805 has lots of resources to help you do that and next year we’ll be doing it again online and in the live class, click the following link to go to the transcript and notes: https://wp.me/pazrJD-Ya
