Bible Overview: Hebrews Who wrote the book? Several theories regarding the author’s identity have been
proposed over the years, but all of them contain significant problems. Authors such as
Paul, Luke, Barnabas, Apollos, and even Clement have been considered as possibilities.
The unknown authorship of this book should not shake our confidence in its authority.
Hebrews makes important theological contributions to the biblical Canon, it has been
drawn upon as sacred Scripture since the late first century, and Christians have for two
millennia consistently upheld the divine inspiration.
Where are we? The strongly Jewish character of the letter to the Hebrews helps to
narrow down its date of composition, most likely AD 64–69. Significantly, the book
makes no reference to the destruction of the temple at Jerusalem in AD 70, and the
author wrote as if the sacrificial system were still in existence (Hebrews 10:1–2, 11).
With its myriad references to Hebrew customs and the Old Testament, the book was
likely sent to a Jewish Christian community, possibly in Rome.
Why is Hebrews so important? Hebrews clearly lays out the present priestly ministry
of Christ in the life of the believer. Jesus is both the divine Son of God and completely
human, and in His priestly role He clears the way for human beings to approach the
Father in heaven through prayer (Hebrews 4:14–16). The priesthood of Jesus is
superior to the Old Testament priesthood of Aaron, because only through Jesus do we
receive eternal salvation (5:1–9). Furthermore, Jesus became the permanent and perfect
High Priest, going beyond all other priests by offering Himself as a sinless sacrifice on
behalf of the sins of human beings (7:24–26; 9:28).
What's the big idea? Throughout its pages, Hebrews makes clear that Jesus Christ
exceeds all other people, pursuits, objects, or hopes to which human beings offer
allegiance. Hebrews pictures Jesus as better than the angels, as bringing better lives to
humanity through salvation, as offering a better hope than the Mosaic Law could
promise, as a better sacrifice for our sins than a bull or a goat, and as providing a better
inheritance in heaven for those who place their faith in Him (Hebrews 1:4;
6:9; 7:19; 9:23; 10:34). Jesus is indeed superior to all others.
How do I apply this? The ancients created idols fashioned of wood and stone.
Modern society has set aside that type of idol in favor of new idols—idols of
technology, material wealth, a comfortable lifestyle, and even our children. Human
beings have seen and experienced the limitless bounty of idolatry, where we place some
created object or person in the place of the one true God. What idols do you hold dear in
your life? The letter to the Hebrews makes clear that only one Person deserves to hold
the primary place in our lives. Jesus offers us a better position, a better priest, a better
covenant, a better hope, and a better sacrifice. Only when we give Jesus His rightful
place in our lives will everything else in life fall into its rightful place.
Visual Overview … What is this first-
century Hebrew Christian up to? Why, it
looks like “He Brews!” And what is he
brewing? Everything from Milk to Meat!
That’s how you’ll always remember the
theme and Keyword of this important New
Testament book. Hebrews (He Brews) is
about going spiritually from Milk to Meat.
The author of this letter seeks to dissuade
Hebrew Christian believers from reverting to
Judaism as a means of averting persecution
for their new faith in Christ. His approach is
to demonstrate how Christ is superior to all
parts of their old religion. Yet it was at the
same time the foundation of His coming. But a foundation is to be built upon, not lived
in. To be persecuted for Christ is better than returning to an empty religion. He warns
them against turning back, and exhorts them to move even further ahead, going from
milk to meat in their quest for godliness. The deep message of this letter is for the
church in every age.
