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 10:36, 39; 11:1-3, as the author turns our attention to those who have lived "by faith." From the beginning of this epistle, the author has persuaded his audience as to the superiority of Messiah Yeshua/Jesus, now he points us to those who have lived "by faith," and to Whom they were "faith-ing." Be encouraged friends, we have a great cloud of witnesses surrounding us!
