For some time I’ve wanted to walk us through the Book of Hebrews
When we come to it, you will discover why it is so extraordinary
- but the same reasons that make it extraordinary,
• also make it difficult to comprehend
• it's content, style and logic are sometimes difficult for us to follow
- Hebrews is built on stories and symbols from the Hebrew Scriptures
• we need to be familiar with that background to grasp its message
• so we are going to spend the next three weeks in Leviticus
◦ if we were in junior high school, I’d hear a lot of groans right now
◦ but we’re adults – so we're silently planning to be somewhere else
for the next three weeks
