Josh continues with Hebrews 1 noting two things that the writer of Hebrews wants the readers to understand: (1) Jesus is the supreme authority over all; and (2) remain faithful, because it is worth it. Hebrews helps us understand that Jesus has been involved with creation (and humanity) from the beginning. He is the intermediary to whom we can go at any time unlike the intermediaries described in the Hebrew Scriptures (OT). Jesus is greater than all those previous intermediaries. What Jesus is offering is greater than what they knew or had expected. Hebrews 1.
Josh shared a quote from William Barclay: "The writer of Hebrews is basically saying the old time is passing away. The age of incompleteness is gone. The time of human guessing and groping is at an end. The new age, the age of God, has dawned now in Christ. He sees the world and the thought of men enter, as it were, into a new age beginning with Christ. In Jesus, God has entered humanity, eternity has invaded time, and things can never be the same again."
