The Superiority of Christ

The purpose of the epistle to the Hebrews is clear; it is to show the superiority of the Lord Jesus Christ to the religious system established by Moses. This is startling in its implications, because Israel's system of worship, and all the rites and rituals that went along with it, were based not on any ideas that Moses had, but on God's revelation to him. What the epistle to the Hebrews reveals is: - Christ's superiority to the prophets - Christ's superiority to angels - Christ's superiority to Moses - Christ's superiority to Joshua - Christ's superiority to Aaron - Christ as the guarantee of a superior covenant - Christ as the provider of a superior sacrifice
