Hebrews 1:1-3

The book of Hebrews emphasizes the preeminence of Jesus Christ and reveals God’s redemptive work throughout history. It underscores God as a communicator, speaking through prophets and ultimately His Son. The letter, possibly written before A.D. 70 to Hellenistic Jews, contrasts Christ’s priesthood with the Levitical system and portrays Him as the culmination of God’s plan. The author, though unknown, reflects on the inadequacy of human philosophies and religious systems to fill the existential void, pointing to Christ as the ultimate answer. Hebrews invites readers to appreciate the profound scope of salvation and the deity of Christ, urging them to understand and live in light of His eternal significance.
