The original readers of the book of Hebrews were being tempted to let go of Christianity and go back to Judaism. To them, in their culture, following Moses felt like an upgrade compared to following Jesus. But that would be a downgrade! Jesus is best and far superior to Moses. Following Moses didn’t guarantee entrance to the promised land, and those who follow Jesus have the certain hope of heaven! What are we tempted to downgrade to? Whatever tempts us to turn away from Christ won’t benefit us it will only harden and deceive us. But Jesus is our apostle and high priest. We are those who share in the heavenly calling. And we have the privilege of encouraging one another to persevere in faith. Jesus was present as God and man to bring us into his presence forever. Let us persevere, holding on to our conviction until he comes!
