Hebrews 7 Commentary

Hebrews 6 Commentary
Hebrews 6 Commentary In computer programming, the programmer uses a low-level language to write instructions for the computer. Don’t be mistaken about the term ‘low’; it has nothing to do with importance. Instead, it could mean foundation, base, or pillar on which you build everything else. “Turning away from useless works and believing in God”ContinueContinue reading “Hebrews 6 Commentary”

Hebrews 3 Commentary

Israel also credits Moses for the establishment of the priesthood. Again, we agree. But here is one greater than Moses! The Son is greater than Moses. For to usContinueContinue reading “Hebrews 3 Commentary”
Hebrews 2b Commentary
Hebrews 2b Commentary Hebrews is a book of impossible contrasts. Impossible because the human mind won’t adjust to accommodate “these things”. On one end is an ever taller Jesus – the exact representation of the Creator God. On the other end, the same Jesus becomes human. But he doesn’t become human like us! He isContinueContinue reading “Hebrews 2b Commentary”
