In the midst of persecution and rejection, the Hebrew believers, who had come from a background of legalism and works, were tempted to hold onto symbols, rituals, and traditions that were grounded in the requirements of the old covenant. Then God came to earth in human flesh as the new covenant, and these believers discovered the freedom they could have with their Savior. The book of Hebrews contrasts the old and new covenant and brilliantly reveals that Christ is higher than any Old Testament character, priest, ritual, or sacrifice-our own High Priest-giving all believers unfettered access to God.

My Sunday School class decided they wanted to study a New Testament book with Old Testament references and so we going through Hebrews verse-by-verse. This turned out to be very difficult until I obtained "Hebrews" (Macarthur New Testament Commentary). Because Hebrews is directed toward the Jewish community using language and references that are unknown or misunderstood by modern Christians, teaching such a class was not possible without the excellent support of "Hebrews." I fully recommend this commentary to folks who wish to understand the book of Hebrews.
