BOOK OF HEBREWS INTRODUCTION

PROBLEM MESSIANIC JEWS WERE BEING PERSECUTED, PRESSURED INTO RETURNING TO THE OLD THIS WOULD MEAN RENOUNCING JESUS AS THE MESSIAH/CHRIST

CENTRAL ISSUE HOW DO WE AND GOD RELATE? THROUGH MEDIATORS WHY IS A RELATIONSHIP IMPORTANT? YAHWEH’S DREAM, DESIRE LEVITICUS 22:32-33 I AM YAHWEH WHO SANCTIFIES YOU [SETS YOU APART AS MY PEOPLE, TREASURED POSSESSION] WHO BROUGHT YOU OUT OF EGYPT TO BE YOUR GOD

FUNCTION OF GOD’S PEOPLE ISAIAH 43:10 “YOU ARE MY WITNESSES”, DECLARES THE LORD, “AND MY SERVANT WHOM I HAVE CHOSEN, THAT YOU MAY KNOW AND BELIVE ME AND UNDERSTAND THAT I AM HE [THE ONLY GOD]” COMMUNICATION, REVELATION AND HARMONIOUS WORKING TOGETHER ARE NECESSARY

INTERACTION THROUGH MEDIATORS A MEDIATOR REPRESENTS ONE PARTY TO THE OTHER FROM GOD’S SIDE – PROPHETS, ANGELS FROM HIS PEOPLE’S SIDE – A HIGH PRIEST IN THE COMING AGE FROM BOTH SIDES – THE MESSIAH

WHO IS THE BEST MEDIATOR? HEBREWS 1:1-2 FROM GOD’S SIDE – IN THE OLD TESTAMENT - PROPHETS, ANGELS BUT NOW – A SON THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF REPRESENATION IS A SON

PREVIOUSLY– LAST DAYS 1:1- 2 HISTORY IS DIVIDED INTO TWO PARTS BEFORE CHRIST AND CHRIST BC- GOD SPOKE AND ACOMPLISHED HIS WILL BY MEANS OF PROPHETS CHRIST – NOW BY MEANS OF A SON OLD – LIMITED, PHYSICAL, FRAGMENTED, TEMPORARY NEW – UNLIMITED, SPIRITUAL, WHOLE, PERMANENT

THE SON - JESUS 1:2 REPLACES PROPHETS APPOINTED HEIR – HAS BEEN PUT IN CHARGE OF EVERYTHING THROUGH WHOM HE MADE THE AGES – THE ONE THROUGH WHOM GOD WILL ACCOMPLISH HIS PURPOSES IN TIME AND SPACE

THE SON - JESUS 1:3 OUTRAYING OF THE GLORY REPRESENTATION OF HIS REALITY [FACE OF GOD] JOHN 14:9-10 SEEING JESUS IS SEEING THE FATHER. JESUS IS IN THE FATHER AND THE FATHER IS IN HIM GOD IS FULLY KNOWABLE THROUGH JESUS GOD RELATES COMPLETELY THROUGH JESUS

JESUS – IN CHARGE 1:3B HE SPEAKS AND GOD’S PURPOSES ARE FULFILLED HE HAS PROVIDED THE SOLUTION TO THE SIN PROBLEM EXALTED TO THE POSITION OF SUPREME AUTHORITY IN THE UNIVERSE IF YOU REJECT HIM YOU HAVE NOTHING, NO FUTURE, NO HOPE
