Hebrews is a masterful theological work that presents Jesus Christ as superior to all elements of the Old Covenant. Addressed to Jewish Christians tempted to abandon the faith, the epistle systematically demonstrates that Jesus is superior to angels, Moses, and the Levitical priesthood. The author establishes Christ as the great High Priest of the New Covenant and emphasizes the definitive nature of his sacrifice. Through Old Testament examples, it exhorts to perseverance in faith and warns against apostasy.
