DESCRIPTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Andrew Murray emphasizes the importance of considering Jesus as the
central figure of the Epistle to the Hebrews. He points out that the
Hebrews' spiritual weakness and potential to miss God's promises stem
from their lack of understanding of the perfect redemption offered
through Christ. By recognizing Jesus as their compassionate and Almighty
High Priest, believers can align their lives with their faith and the
will of God. Murray highlights that Jesus, being greater than the
angels, provides a more profound and effective support for those who
trust in Him. Ultimately, knowing Christ deeply transforms the
believer's life and faith.

CONTENT

Consider Jesus: these words may be taken as the motto of the Epistle to
the Hebrews. The weakness of the Christian living which the writer saw
among the Hebrews and their danger of missing God's promises through
unbelief and disobedience was due to their ignorance of the real nature
of the perfect redemption which had been offered to them in the gospel.
If they could only know Christ Jesus and what he could do for them as
their compassionate, Faithful, Almighty High Priest, then their living
would be in perfect correspondence with their beliefs and with the will
of the Savior whom they would then truly know.

As the Son of God he is greater than the angels; how much more effective
will be what he is and does for those who trust him than all that the
angels did for God's saints in times gone by. Consider Jesus the Mighty
God.
