Hebrews 1 - James 3:12

I have always enjoyed Hebrews. I think part of it was due to my Hebrews class and teacher - Jeff Snell. Jeff is a great teacher and really fostered an appreciation in my for the book of Hebrews. It does so much to bridge the gap between the Old and New Testaments.

Towards the end of the book the writer makes a strong case for Christ now serving as our High Priest. This role allows all who believe in him to enter into his presence.

"But now Jesus, our High Priest, has been given a ministry that is far superior to the old priesthood, for he is the one who mediates for us a far better covenant with God, based on better promises."
