Analytical Bible Expositor: Hebrews
Overview
This eloquently written epistle is addressed to Jewish Christians in order to reaffirm their commitment to Christ, and encouraged them to persevere through persecution and laxity of faith. It exalts Christ as superior to all else and gives examples of how to live by the doctrine of Christ. Butler’s commentary is insightful, and includes some observations as to why Hebrews is thought to have been written by Paul.
Top Highlights
“Paul exhorts them to keep up a good profession and not to waver in their public testimony, in spite of the persecution.” (Page 79)
“Abel, the fourth person of the human race, is the first example given in this chapter of one living by faith” (Page 86)
“The first ten chapters of Hebrews are about the doctrine of Christ, Who is the foundation of Christianity” (Page 9)
“Christ is our model, our pattern for our running the race of life. Athletes often look to star athletes as models for their performance. Believers should look to Christ. Some things about Christ are listed here which make Him an excellent pattern to follow.” (Page 114)
“Offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice.’ Faith not only worships God, but it worships God correctly. This was the difference between Cain and Abel. Cain did not worship correctly, but Abel did.” (Page 86)
