This week we begin a new 12-week sermon series that will take us through the New Testament book of Hebrews. We have titled this series “Jesus Is Greater.” (though we are using that cool little > greater than symbol…) Why? Because if the book of Hebrews tells us anything it’s that JESUS is GREATER!
He is greater than the angels, He is greater than Moses, greater than Joshua and He is greater than any earthy priest. Not only this, but His completed work in ushering in the new and better covenant (Hebrews 7:22) is greater than the old. He is greater than everything we chase after, anything we place our hope, our identity or our value in. As we grasp for these things, it serves us well to remember that compared to everything else, Jesus is always GREATER.
Hebrews 1:1-4
“Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world. He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his power. After making purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, having become as much superior to angels as the name he has inherited is more excellent than theirs."
