Hebrews (The Lectio Continua Expository Commentary | LCEC)
Overview
The greatest need of the church today is the recovery of sound biblical preaching that faithfully explains and applies the text, courageously confronts sin, and boldly trumpets forth sovereign majesty, law, and the promises of God. It is for this reason that the Lectio Continua Expository Commentary on the New Testament is being written. It is authored by an array of seasoned pastor-scholars from various Reformed denominations on both sides of the Atlantic. The Lectio Continua series Testament is not meant to be an academic or highly technical series. Rather, the aim is to provide lectio continua sermons which clearly and faithfully communicate the context, meaning, gravity and application of God’s inerrant Word. Each volume of expositions aspires to be redemptive-historical, covenantal, Reformed and confessional, trinitarian, person-and-work-of-Christ-centered, and teeming with practical application. Therefore, the series will be a profound blessing to every Christian believer who longs to “grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ” (II Peter 3:18).
Top Highlights
“The Hebrew Christians were tempted to return to the old Jewish ways, to trust in Aaron rather than Christ. Now” (Page 166)
“‘Katie, who died?’ he asked. ‘God died,’ she answered. Receiving from Martin a shocked reply, Katie responded to the effect, ‘Well, you are acting as if God died.’ This jolted Martin Luther from the doldrums and renewed his sagging faith.” (Page 276)
“On the cross, the Father poured out his just wrath on the Son as the sinner’s substitute, but that sacrifice could not destroy the life of our priest who in love sacrificed himself for us.” (Page 173)
“The writer’s concern here is not a single act of sin but obviously a state of mind, a commitment, an attitude.” (Page 155)
“Fourth, the superiority of Christ’s priesthood is seen in that his priesthood is not interrupted by death” (Page 177)
