Hebrews: A Jewish Epistle in Contemporary Times, A Great Cloud of Witnesses Speaking

The author of Hebrews is writing to Jewish believers in Messiah Yeshua/Jesus who are considering turning back, to what? To the angels, to the Temple, to Moses, to Aaron, to the sacrifices, to their past. In a powerful and profound way, the author is speaking not only to the hearts of Jewish disciples who are wavering under the pressure of following Yeshua, but also to people today who are wavering in faith.

In this episode we consider Hebrews 13:1-8, the author uses a shorthand of Leviticus 18 - 20, the heart of the Torah to give a final ethical exhortation on: φιλαδελφία (brotherly love), hospitality, those in prison, marriage, sexual purity, greed, contentment, God’s promises, and the unchanging nature of Messiah.
