Study Notes Ed Underwood Hebrews Selected Legacies of Faith!  (Hebrews 11:32-40) “The world was not worthy of them” (Hebrews 11:38) The key Greek term hypomone, endurance (10:36; 12:1, 3), which occurs nowhere else in Hebrews, brackets Hebrews 11. The Greek word pistis, faith, occurs 24 times in chapter 11, begins and ends the chapter. The refrain “by faith” emphatically teaches Christians that faith in God is essential if we want to endure in our service to Christ. After celebrating the character of faith in chapter 11, the writer invites the reader to the endurance that secures the reward our redeemed heart desires (12:1-13, see also10:34-39). First Century Jews viewed history as the story of the God of Israel working through the heroes of the Old Testament to move His plan forward. Now the writer tells them why these heroes were great. It wasn’t their ancestry or their performance. Behind every act that God commends is a heart of faith. It’s a list that would surprise and maybe even embarrass these Jewish

“…for [Moses’] eyes were fixed on the reward” (Hebrews 11:26). We’ve come to a great transition in the Book of Hebrews as the writer moves from teaching to application. He has masterfully presented Jesus Christ’s superior ministry (6:13-10:18). Having proved that Jesus is better than any and every alternative and cautioned them against forsaking him and his followers, the writer begins this section with a stern warning: Do not sin willingly and persistently because God severely judges his New Covenant people! He then moves on to motivate them to draw near to God in enduring faith by connecting the believer’s faith to the believer’s endurance.   Ed Underwood Study Notes (Hebrews 11:23-31)Faith in the Mosaic Era!  The key Greek term hypomone, endurance (10:36; 12:1, 3), which occurs nowhere else in Hebrews, brackets the section.

Hebrews 11:1-7

A Q&A with Ed as we move towards Hebrews 11.

Ed Underwood Don’t Throw Away Your Confidence and Reward! (Hebrews 10:32-39)   “My righteous one shall live by faith” (Hebrews 10:38). We come to a great transition in the Book of Hebrews as the writer moves from teaching to application. He has masterfully presented Jesus Christ’s superior ministry (6:13-10:18). Proving that Jesus is better than every and any alternative and cautioned them against forsaking him and his followers, the writer now offers the most stern warning: Do not sin willingly and persistently because God severely judges his New Covenant people!  The key Greek term parresia, confidence (vv 19, 35; 4:16) brackets the admonition. The message being that though true believers should live with a healthy expectation of judgment for contemptuous lifestyles that dishonor God and insult the Spirit of grace (v 29)—all who truly believe should desire the confidence that faith in Christ brings to our lives. These paragraphs have a greater purpose than simply warning those who are tempted to walk away f

Made for So Much MoreHebrews 9:15-28   “And so he is the mediator of a new covenant…”  (Hebrews 9:15)   Every Jewish Christian was familiar with the role of the high priest in Judaism. The high priest represented the people before God. What they had not thought through was the role of Jesus Christ as the ultimate high priest to represent his people before God. Since many were forsaking Christianity for Judaism, the writer of Hebrews wants them to know that they are forsaking their far superior high priest—the Son of God, for a far inferior high priest—the Aaronic high priest. More than that, the current high priests in Jerusalem weren’t even of the tribe of Levi, as God had prescribed. Instead, the office had become a political position gained by ambition and positioning. The high priests of the 1st Century were more about power and prestige than about serving God’s people. They lived outside of the requirements of the Law.  God meant the high priest to be a faithful and merciful mediator between Him and His

Study Notes Ed Underwood Hebrews Warning: Do Not be Disloyal to Your High Priest (Hebrews 10:26-31)   “The Lord will judge His people” (Hebrews 10:30). We come to a great transition in the Book of Hebrews as the writer moves from teaching to application. He has masterfully presented Jesus Christ’s superior ministry (6:13-10:18). Proving that Jesus is better than every and any alternative and cautioned them against forsaking him and his followers, the writer now offers the most stern warning: Do not sin willingly and persistently because God severely judges his New Covenant people!  The admonition is bracketed by the key Greek term parresia, confidence (vv 19, 35).
