The letter to the Hebrews forms one sustained argument concerning the indispensable nature of what Jesus Christ has done for us. Those to whom the letter was written were in danger of giving up and retreating into the old ways of thinking that had sustained them before they came to faith in Jesus. The writer of Hebrews was determined to encourage them to keep going chiefly through showing how all the Jewish ritual and belief that came before was pointing God’s people ahead to what Jesus would achieve. Studying the letter and its argument can encourage us, within a rather different context, to persevere in our faith by focusing us upon the significance of what God has done for us in Jesus Christ.
