“God has spoken to us by His son…the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of His nature”. Jesus, the perfect representation of God’s character, made just a little lower than the angels, is not ashamed to call us his brothers. He is “a merciful and faithful high priest…for because he himself has suffered when tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted.”
Paul wrote this letter to encourage believers in their time of trial, and it has the same impact on us today. It describes the incredible love of God in giving His only son, and the amazing self-sacrificing love that Christ has for us. We are never alone in our struggle against sin, and we know that the power of death has been destroyed through Christ’s sacrifice.
