Messiah in Life
Hebrews Part 13
Hebrews: A Jewish Epistle in Contemporary Times, A Great Cloud of Witnesses Speaking
The author of Hebrews is writing to Jewish believers in Messiah Yeshua/Jesus who are considering turning back, to what? To the angels, to the Temple, to Moses, to Aaron, to the sacrifices, to their past. In a powerful and profound way, the author is speaking not only to the hearts of Jewish disciples who are wavering under the pressure of following Yeshua, but also to people today who are wavering in faith.
In this episode we consider Hebrews 6:13-20, following the warning to disciples concerning departing the faith, the author offers encouragement and a reminder of who the anchor of our faith and the refuge for our soul is.
