Core message of Hebrews:
Christ became human and in his weakness he overcame sin,
so now we can relate to him and look to him as the ultimate sacrifice.
Core message cont’d
He has become the reality of the Old Testament picture of the promise.
In him there is the new tabernacle which is God’s direct presence—Jesus’ blood is the sacrifice.
This is the new promise and covenant.
Core message cont’d
And so we can live in the promise today
and rest in the promise
and hold on to Christ in the hard times
with faith that we will receive our inheritance in the things (promises) that are unseen,
and in this promise we can live a life of Christ and love one another.

Concluding Prayer:
Now may the God of peace
who by the blood of the eternal covenant
brought back from the dead
the great shepherd of the sheep,
our Lord Jesus Christ,
equip you with every good thing to do his will,
working in us what is pleasing before him
through Jesus Christ,
to whom be glory forever. Amen.
