- Welcome to the Rapid Bull, daily edition, where we provide a quick biblical interpretations and applications.
- 00:12
- This is a ministry of striving for eternity. The book of Hebrews is a book that many people find a little bit difficult to understand because many people don't understand the book of Leviticus.
- 00:25
- Now when we look at the book of Hebrews, this is written to a Jewish population.
- 00:31
- There is a lot here that you have to understand, some Judaism, some of the Old Testament. But the short of it is this, what the author of the book of Hebrews wants you to know is one clear thing, that Jesus Christ is preeminent.
- 00:47
- He is preeminent above the angels. He's preeminent above the sacrificial systems.
- 00:53
- He's preeminent above the priests. He basically is superior to everything that the
- 01:00
- Jews would look at as being valuable or something to be superior. Whether it be the law, whether it be angels, whether it be the priesthood, no matter how you look at it,
- 01:12
- Christ is superior to everything. Now most people know of Hebrews because of the one chapter called the
- 01:19
- Hall of Faith or chapter 11 where it talks about all the people that lived by faith. And though we have that, the real thing is this, that you and I can live by faith because of what
- 01:31
- Jesus Christ did. And that sacrificial system of the Old Testament is no comparison to what
- 01:38
- Jesus Christ did for the New Covenant. That is what the book of Hebrews wants to focus on.
- 01:44
- It wants to focus that Jesus is supreme. He is the superior one.
