Hebrews : Shepherded into Rest
Hebrews, Shepherded into RestThis book, like no other, reveals the Heavenly Ministry of Christ for the church to bring the many sons of God into glory. It shows us our security in Christ and places the entirety of the burden of keeping us, from start to finish, in Christ’s hands. Hebrews teaches us that Jesus Christ has taken full responsibility to bring us into glory as the Captain of our Salvation. He is the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, our Representative in Heaven, and the Maintainer of our life on earth. He is the Author and the Finisher of our faith.
He our Surety to guarantee that we will come into our inheritance, and He is the “Executor of the will” – the Testator of the estate of which He has made us heirs. He is the High Priest after the order of Melchizedek to dispense His life into us, and by the working of His life in us, He is bringing us into a place where we match Him in glory. Hebrews offers a unique perspective of how completely Christ is invested in us, not just in His work in death and resurrection but also in His life as our High Priest. His life on earth and His death and resurrection qualified Him for a ministry that is uniquely revealed in this book. Without the book of Hebrews, we would not see the details of this role.
It is a great tragedy that people relegate this book to another time or avoid it altogether. Ironically, the verses that seem to be the most terrifying – when taken in context, provide more comfort than almost any other place in the scripture. There is not another book that shows us how secure we are in Christ to this degree. I believe this study will be a great help to everyone who is hungry and thirsty to know how safe they are in the Lord’s hands. Being fully assured in our Salvation is the key to boldness before God and subsequent growth. It is the truth that makes us free in the Lord.

This is an amazing work!
This is a very encouraging work that brings one to understand the book of Hebrews better that expresses Jesus and what He has done for us as believers in Christ.
The main theme of Hebrews is that Jesus is everything that we have as believers and to warn of unbelief and how that causes us to have an evil conscience that tries to shrink back from what Jesus has completed for us to rest in.
