Tell City Nazarene Church's Biblical Journey
With Pastor Charles Areson
Today's reading is Hebrews 1-4
Often a teacher or Pastor will mention the "writer of Hebrews." The reason for this is the authorship of the book isn't contained in the book itself. The book is filled with Pauline reasoning but there is a different tone which causes some to believe it wasn't written by the apostle himself but one of his associates like Apollos or Aquila. The fact that the destruction of the temple isn't mentioned argues for an early date of its creation as the destruction of the temple could have been proof that God was done with the old system of animal sacrifices.
Setting all the arguments of its authorship aside, the book is a beautiful picture of how God in the Old Testament was preparing the Children of Israel and the world for Jesus. The Author makes it very clear from the beginning of the first chapter that God is now speaking through His Son, Jesus.
