The Book of Hebrews is my Wednesday evening class.
The book of Hebrews gives the best demonstration of the limited purpose of the Law of Moses. The Law was only a “shadow” of coming realities which Christ introduced. That “shadow” quality of the Law was shown in every aspect of the Mosaic arrangement: its priest, its sanctuary, its sacrifices, etc.
Christianity and Judaism were never intended by God to co exist. They are two completely different systems that have nothing in common as it relates to atonement for sin and worship of God. The only relation the two systems ever had was defined by the author as the relation between a shadow and the substance that cast that shadow. It is clear to the author that the old Hebrew system had to be terminated before the new system of Christ could begin.
The following are the questions for each chapter and I'll be posting them as we need them.
