Last week I encouraged people to take seriously the habit of reading the Bible.  This week I want to encourage people from all services to be reading the letter to the Hebrews over the next few weeks.  Both the morning and evening services will be studying this letter and it is one that needs to be read and re-read to try and understand some of the more difficult aspects that it contains.  The main point of the letter is to show how superior Jesus is to everything else in this world.  The writer shows how Jesus is superior to Angels, to Moses and is the Great High Priest of the New Covenant.  We read about the sacrifice of Jesus that is once and for all people.  There are warnings in the letter to listen carefully to the message and to consider Jesus and then to follow him without drifting into unbelief or falling away.  This book of the Bible is a very important one to understand and I encourage you to read it and to take seriously what it has to say to you.

One of the cool features of DVDs is the director’s commentary option. You watch the movie and at the same time hear the inside word on what the director was thinking, what he was trying to achieve & how he arranged the shots and scenes. The book of Hebrews is a bit like God’s director’s commentary on how Jesus’ death can pay for people’s sins. In Hebrews we’re taken up into heaven to see what happens in the throne room of God as Jesus brings his blood there to make purification for sin. Join us at 7pm for 13 weeks of the inside word about Jesus’ death.
