Most Christians are aware that Psalms is the “hymnbook” of the Scriptures, but few seem to realize Hebrews is the “Him” book of the Bible. Some are so busy focusing on a few problem texts in this book that they lose sight of the Person of Christ.
This “Him” book is also a “better” book. It speaks of “better things,” a “better sanctuary,” a “better sacrifice,” “better promises,” and a “better covenant.” We are told that Jesus is “better” than the “angels,” “Moses,” “Joshua,” and “Aaron.” The book is all about “Him”. It stands as one of the greatest books in the entire Bible on assurance. In spite of some unlearned and ignorant souls trying to prove the opposite!
I asked my pastor a year or so ago to pray about preaching this “Him” book in the coming year. He smiled, and replied, “I don’t know if I could handle it.” This statement, in itself, proved that he can. Anyone who approaches the book of Hebrews with this kind of attitude and spirit of humility will find “Him” in Hebrews.
Hebrews is not about perplexing problems, but a precious Person. The problems fade in light of the Person. (R.D.S)
