Consider Jesus

Reading: Hebrews 3 – 4:13 “Therefore, holy brothers… consider Jesus, the apostle and high priest of our confession….” (3:1) Moving on from Jesus’ supremacy over angels, the writer of Hebrews now makes the point that Jesus is also greater than Moses….

No Rumours

Reading: Hebrews 2.1-4 “… How shall we escape (i.e., retribution) if we neglect such a great salvation?

Reading: Matthew 26:14-16 For Judas and the chief priests and their company, Jesus was worth 30 silver coins.  For Satan, whatever it was disposed in his power—i.e., all the authority of the kingdoms of the world and their glory (Matthew 4:8-9; Luke 4:6-7).
