Part 2 of The Message of Hebrews – There are lots of ways that people can “lose their faith.” Jesus talked about it in his parable of the soils. But what can most easily happen is that people simply drift away because they are not fully anchored in the truth. The author of this message to the Hebrews wants to ensure that this doesn’t happen to his readers.
In our passage this morning he continues his exposition of the truth that in Jesus Christ God has given us his final word. Here he particularly contrasts Jesus with the angels, who mediated the Old Covenant based on the law.
