Hebrews 1:2-3 Jesus Seven Ways

As we are still in the very early stages of our study of Hebrews it's worth a reminder that it is being written to a congregation. And, like most all congregations, there is a mix of believers and unbelievers. Further, the unbelievers consist of two groups:

-those who know Jesus intellectually and are convinced of the claims of Jesus but have, for whatever reason, stopped short of putting their faith in Jesus and,

-those who aren't yet convinced of who Jesus is and what He has done.

It's critical, especially later in the book, to remember that the expected hearer of the message can shift between the three audience groups.

 

The writer of Hebrews continues the theologically rich introduction that started in 1:1 in one complete sentence all the way through verse 4. Covering just verses 2-3 gives us a multifaceted view of Jesus.

"Where there is a real Jesus, there is real hope!"
