I TS R ELEVANCE T ODAY It is relevant for any people on the verge of giving up their faith, or cooling off or not growing toward spiritual maturity.

H EBREWS B IBLE S TUDY

HEBREWS EXHORTS ITS READERS TO REMAIN FAITHFUL BECAUSE OF: W HO J ESUS I S (1:1-2:4) (focusing on his divinity) W HAT J ESUS H AS D ONE (2:5-18) (focusing on his humanity) A THEOLOGY OF THE INCARNATION

The Introduction: Hebrews 1:1-4 The meta-narrative “The Incarnation of the Eye” Ken Bailey “The Son is everything the Father is, except that he is not the Father.” Early Church Saying

WHAT’S THE DEAL WITH THE ANGELS? Hebrews 1:5-14 (The Angel Argument)

Hebrews 1:5-14 (The Angel Argument) THEOPHANY Greek: THEOPHANIA A ‘GOD APPEARANCE’ A TEMPORARY MANIFESTATION OF GOD

OTTODAY T HE I NCARNATION Is a Theophany Possible Today?

1:5-14 ANGEL ARGUMENT 2:1-4EXHORTATION (THE REAL POINT) NOTICE: T EACHING M INGLED WITH E XHORTATION

Hebrews 2:5-18 WHAT CHRIST HAS DONE FOR US (His Humanity is Emphasized.) OUR CHAMPION 2:10‘ARCHEGOS’ CHRISTUS VICTOR

Jesus is our Priest-Savior and our Champion. Therefore, hold firm to the faith. Hebrews 3-13 THE LOGIC

Hebrews 3:1 – 4:13 Jesus is better than Moses. Therefore, be better pilgrims.

Hebrews 4:14-10:31 Jesus is greater than any high priest. He has entered the heavenly temple with his own blood. Therefore, do not fall away.

Hebrews 4:14-10:31 Two things help us understand these chapters better: 1. He follows a Platonic argument. 2. His argument about Melchizedek has become clearer. (11 Q Melchizedek)

Hebrews 10:32 – 12:4 “Be God’s Champions” God’s champions live by faith, even in the face of death (chapt 11). The champion theme resumes again (10:32-39).

12:1-13 Christ is our champion (12:2) Imitate him and endure hardship (12:1-13)
