A Journey through Hebrews

It has been a long time since I've written anything here. I chatted with Devin while I was in Chicago earlier this month, and we decided to start blogging again (and to keep each other going with our blogs as well). So...

For the next while, I will be blogging my way through the Book of Hebrews, which currently is my favorite book in the Bible. I hope this will be as edifying and uplifting to any who read it as it will be to me.

The entire message of Hebrews is expressed in the first four verses of chapter 1. My next blog entry will be on these verses, so I'll end this little post with a taste of what's to come:

Hebrews 1:1-4
(1) In the past God spoke to our ancestors through the prophets at many times and in various ways, (2) but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom also he made the universe. (3) The Son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven. (4) So he became as much superior to the angels as the name he has inherited is superior to theirs.

(FYI - all Scripture quotations from this point forward are taken from the TNIV unless otherwise specified.)
