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 12:1-11, the author begins to bring the argument of this letter to a conclusion, by focusing on Messiah Yeshua/Jesus. If we are enduring correction, if we are enduing trial, what does the author say of us? This is such an important point for all faithful in Messiah to take hold of, and the author helps to cement this important point in our hearts.
