The Last Priest: Knysna New Testament Series - Hebrews

It is not really possible to give a brief description of THE LAST PRIEST. Accordingly, I have just sketched the terrain to be covered. In this case I'll do this by quoting from J B Phillips' Letters to Young Churches' introduction to Hebrews:

"The general idea of this letter is to demonstrate that Jesus amply fulfils all the highest expectations of the Jewish religion, and is infinitely superior to any predecessors. Christian Jews must realize that Christ has fulfilled and surpassed all their old ideas, and they must not therefore relapse into the old Jewish religion. Because the New Agreement was established by God's visiting the earth in Person, it is infinitely more important than the Old Agreement of the Law. There is, therefore, for those who belong to Christ far greater privilege in knowing God, but far greater responsibility in serving Him loyally."
