Eyes on Jesus
We continue our series “Jesus is Better,” a study of the letter to the Hebrews. This letter is actually a written sermon to believers who were struggling with their faith. They were being tempted to go back to a life without Jesus, a life rooted in the unfulfilled promises and pictures of the Old Testament. The writer of this letters seeks to show them in many ways that Jesus is better, not only better than what they had before, but better than everything. We come to the culmination of the “Hall of Faith” that we looked at last week. The list of faithful people concludes with Jesus. The writer encourages his readers to consider the great cloud of witnesses, but above all to set our eyes on Jesus. Jesus is not only the example of faithfulness; he is the means of our faithfulness as well, strengthening, renewing, enabling and empowering us to follow Him in faith.
