The Letter To The Hebrews

1. Hebrews 2:1-4 If you do not pay attention to God's word, you can forget what God asked from you. If you do not listen, you might not do what God says to do in his Word. Make sure that you understand Scripture so that you might not become hard of hearing. This kind of hard of hearing is when you chose NOT to listen! How can you understand what you "hear" from the Scriptures?

2. Hebrews 1:1-14. Did you know that JESUS was greater than angels? I bet you knew that! JESUS was part of the creation of angels, the Scriptures tell us that angels worship JESUS. God never said to any of the angels, "You are my son..." How is JESUS greater than angels?

JESUS was created first

JESUS is much larger and taller than angels

JESUS has been to earth

JESUS is God's Son. JESUS created the angels. Angels worship JESUS. JESUS makes people clean from their sins.

The explanation for the correct answer is that Jesus is greater than angels because he is God's Son, he created the angels, angels worship him, and he has the power to cleanse people from their sins. This is supported by the passage in Hebrews 1:1-14, which emphasizes Jesus' superiority over angels and highlights his divine nature and role in redemption.

3. Hebrews 3:12-19 Can you image being saved by God from a terrible life and then not listening to His words? The Israelites did that! You might remember God was very angry with them. He punished them for 40 years. God kept his promise to give them a new land, but he made them wait. He wanted them to change their hearts and believe in him. How do people show unbelief? People who really believe in God do what God says. People who do not belive in God do not obey God. They rebel and turn away from him! Why did God make them wait 40 years to enter and have God's rest?

"... because they were not old enough to understand."

"... because they did not believe."

"... because they were very immature and needed to grow up."

'... because they were afraid of the people in the land."

The correct answer is "... because they did not believe." The passage explains that the Israelites were made to wait 40 years to enter the promised land because they did not have faith in God. Their lack of belief and disobedience led to God's punishment and delayed their entry into His rest. This highlights the importance of faith and obedience in God's plan for His people.

4. Hebrews 4:12-16 Have you ever seen a TV show where there is a hidden camera? The camera was trying to catch you doing something wrong or something silly. When someone watches us we will do things different than if we think no one is watching. We usually behave better if we know others are watching. Well God is watching you! Nothing is hidden from Him. His eyes see everything. God is not trying to catch us doing wrong, He loves us enough to want to know everything we do! Wow, that makes me want to do my best all the time. God watches so that when we pray, He can help us do our best. We have a high priest who has gone into heaven. He is the Son of God and He understands our weaknesses. Can you name our high priest?

Aaron

Paul

Michael the Angel

7. Hebrews 1:1 says "In the past God spoke to our forefathers through prophets at many times and in various ways, but these last days he has spoken to us by his son." The writer tells us that JESUS is better than the angels, he is greater than Moses. The Jewish (Hebrew) people loved and knew what Moses had taught, they knew what to do under the 10 commandments and the law of Moses. They knew about the Sabbath. They knew that they were to "rest" on the sabbath. Now they were beginning to understand that the real "Sabbath rest" was is promised under JESUS. All their lives they had lived with the 10 commandments and the laws of Moses, now they had a new law.They needed a little encouragement. This was a huge change for them. It required a lot of faith. Today we have the whole Bible. We have the complete story of JESUS. What did the Jewish (Hebrew) people grow up following?
