1. “Let Us Run with Endurance …” (Heb 12:1-3)The author turns to athletics for his next exhortation, likening the Christian life to run-ning a marathon.

1. The Inferior Sacrifices of the Law (Heb 10:1-10) The author now elaborates upon his previous statements about the ineffectiveness of animal sacrifices under the Law.

1. The Earthly Tabernacle (Heb 9:1-5) The author continues his reasoning on the superior priesthood of Christ by demonstrating the inferiority of and limitations associated with the earthly tabernacle.

1. A Heavenly High Priest (Heb 8:1-2) The truths set forth by the author of Hebrews all point to heaven. Our hope is in heaven (Heb 6:19). Our rest is in heaven (4:9-10). Our high priest is in heaven (4:14; 8:1). The true tabernacle in which He serves is in heaven (8:2). The whole Mosaic system was pre-paratory. The earthly hope and rest (Canaan), …

1. Building on the Basics (Heb 6:1-3) Again, the chapter division is unfortunate as the thought continues from Heb 5:14. The author recognizes that there are foundational principles in the gospel just as there are in other academic disciplines.

1. Compassion: A Requirement of Priesthood (Heb 5:1-3) The discussion of the high priesthood of Jesus begins in 5:1 and continues through 10: 18.

JESUS VS JUDAISM The Book of Hebrews Lesson 4 1. Falling Short of God’s Rest (Heb 4:1-2) The chapter break should be ignored, for the warning continues with a third “lest”: “let us fear lest any of you seem to have come short of it” (Heb 4:1; cf. 3:12-13). The Israel-ites had “good news” preached to them: a promised land of no bondage or war, abun-…
