To put it succinctly, Hebrews was written to a group of first-century Christians who were in danger of giving up.

These new believers were exposed to fierce persecution, including physical assault and imprisonment. Weary from the intense tribulations, Jewish Christians in particular were tempted to return to the familiarity of their old faith. This left the writer of Hebrews with the significant task of convincing these believers the necessity of holding fast to Jesus.

Therefore, in Hebrews, we read how Christ is the zenith of God’s redemptive plan—prophesied under the Old Covenant and fulfilled in the New. Of all the New Testament books, Hebrews best illustrates how to bridge the gap between Judaism and Christianity.

The letter to the Hebrews is a masterwork of biblical theology, demonstrating the supremacy and sufficiency of Jesus Christ: He was God in the flesh, God’s final revelation to man, and the One who fulfilled (and therefore ended) all the ceremonial activity that paved the way for the Jewish Messiah.
