The Holy Bible - Hebrews

The Holy Bible is a collection of books. So I have split them up. I will read it in 1 year, every day ~15 minutes of reading.

Why read it?

The Letter to the Hebrews, written around 60–70 AD, speaks to Jewish Christians tempted to turn back to old ways. The unknown writer shows Jesus is better than angels, Moses, priests, and sacrifices. He is the great High Priest who offered Himself once for all sins. The book mixes strong warnings with rich encouragement to hold fast.

You will find deep teaching on Christ’s superiority, faith’s heroes, and the new covenant. This book strengthens anyone who feels weary in faith.

Favourite quote

In Hebrews 4:15-16, the writer says:

For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

These two sentences show Jesus understands our struggles and invites us to seek help freely.

What I Loved

The list of faith in chapter 11 inspires me. It names ordinary people who trusted God, Abel, Noah, Abraham, Rahab, and says, “these all... obtained a good report” (Hebrews 11:2). Though they did not see the promise, they kept going. This cloud of witnesses urges me to run my race with patience.

Key Takeaway

Hebrews teaches that Jesus is the final revelation and perfect sacrifice. His blood opens a new way to God, better than the old system. The book calls us to draw near with confidence, hold faith firmly, and endure trials. It reminds us to fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith.
