The epistle to the Hebrews begins by painting a grand vision of Christ. He is the Son of God, the Creator of the world and the Saviour of humanity. He is immeasurably greater than the angels. Therefore, we need to pay careful attention to the word which God has spoken to us through the Son.
Main Points:
