Hebrews is one of the most important books in the Bible because it shows us some of the richest, most beautiful insights into what God has done for us through His Son Jesus Christ. We see Jesus like in no other book of the Bible. It strengthens our faith and draws us to appreciate this great salvation that God has given us.
He’s writing to Hebrews, or Jews, who are believers in Jesus Christ as the long-awaited Messiah. But they are struggling in their faith because they are being pressured by the other Jews in Jerusalem to go back to the ways of the Old Testament, back to the laws of Moses, back to the shadow of the thing, of which Christ is the reality, the substance.
Line by line, he shows them that Jesus is superior in every way. Jesus is greater than Moses, He is greater than Solomon, greater than Jonah, greater than even Abraham. He is greater than the angels, He is greater than all the priests of the Old Testament, He is greater than the Sabbath and he is even greater than the temple itself.
Why go back to the old life when what you have in Christ is superior to anything else? There is nothing better than Christ. There is no greater truth, there is no greater salvation.
When you recognize how great a salvation that you have received and when the eyes of your heart are opened to see what great love God has poured out upon you through His Son, how should you respond? That’s the main point of chapter 10.
They were being pressured to go back to the old life and the old ways that were only a shadow of what they now have in Christ. Instead of falling backward, he challenges them to press forward, to draw nearer to God with a sincere heart and in full assurance of faith.
This applies to many people today. Many are stuck in what I call the ‘miserable middle.’ They believe Jesus purchased salvation for them and they have received the offer of life, but pressures of life, the worries and cares of the world and the desire for other things come in and choke out their spiritual life and they find themselves in the miserable middle.
When you understand what a great salvation you have and what God has done for you through His Son, Jesus Christ, you should press forward, you should draw nearer to God; with a sincere heart and with full assurance of faith.
