The first-century church suffered severe persecution, and this letter is written in that setting. The intended readers seem to be Jewish Christians who are thinking of abandoning their faith and of lapsing back into Judaism. The author exhorts them to hold fast to their confession of Christ as Savior and Lord. The theme of Hebrews is the absolute supremacy and sufficiency of Jesus Christ as revealer and as mediator of God's grace. As you read this book, look for the inspiration to keep going in the faith.
