Hebrews - tie to the past, hope for the future Hebrews 2:5-18
We do not know who wrote the book of Hebrews...
It is clear the author is familiar with Timothy, as he refers to him as “our brother Timothy” (13:23)
Whoever wrote the letter heard the message from those that heard it from Jesus himself (2:3)
While some suggest (even argue) that Paul wrote the letter, Paul calls Timothy, “my true son in the faith” (1 Tim 1:2)
Scholars have proposed a number of potential authors: Luke, Clement of Rome, Barnabas, Apollos, Timothy, Philip, Peter, Silas, Jude, Aristion, and even Priscilla
Ultimately it doesn’t matter who wrote this letter - it is clear that it is someone well known to the early church
Some have suggested that Hebrews ties the Old Testament history and the practices with the life of Jesus better than any other New Testament book
This letter was probably written during the persecution under Nero (AD 64-68)
The goal of the letter appears to be to establish the truth that Christianity is better than Judaism.
That the O.T. covenant has been fulfilled/satisfied in Jesus and therefore the new covenant is “better” having been made superior by Jesus himself.
“There is not a square inch in the whole domain of our human existence over which Christ, who is Sovereign over all, does not cry, Mine!” Abraham Kuyper
