Hebrews Chapter 1 Verse 2a,b

Hebrews 1:2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by His Son,

Hebrews 2 a, Whom He hath appointed heir of all things , by whom also He made the worlds.

If we could really feel the emotions of the writer of the book of Hebrews. I think we would’ve understood how drastic this was to him and how concerned he was, and how compelled by love to write to these Jewish people who had been believers in Jesus, and had now turned away from the faith of God by Jesus Christ to go back to the Law and works of the law.

We can see by the way the Apostle has started out in the first verse, God, who at sundry times.

Here, the Apostle must had been all most besides himself in grief and sorrow for these people and overwhelmed with concern because they had turned from the blood of Christ that had been shed for them, and turned back to the blood of bulls and goats and lambs.

Verse 2 a, Hath in these last days spoken unto us by His Son.

Here we can see that the Apostle must be feeling devastated with great sorrow to think of someone having after tasted of the goodness of God by having received all the benefits from grace and faith without works.

Verse 2 b, we see the apostle continues expounding on the devastation of it all in these words of verse 2b, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also He made the worlds.

They had a relationship with the very Son of God and not only the Son of God but also with the one God made the worlds.

The Apostle is penning his words in grief and sorrow with hope to reconcile these Jewish people back to God through Christ Jesus by admonishing them with these words in these verses.

It is for us to understand the perspective on the Book of Hebrews to be that the Apostle was writing to Jewish people that had once believed in Jesus Christ and had turned back to doing the works of the Law and Customs handed down during the time of Moses.

Why is it important ? For without knowing this perspective a person can receive teaching that can bring a person under great condemnation and guilt.

For example in Hebrews Chapter 6 verse 6 where it says, if they shall fall away to renew them again unto repentance.

A person could have been overtaken in a fault, and hear a message where the teacher or preacher is using passages like that out of context and usually do because they don’t have the right perspective on why the book was written.

It would leave that person feeling like there is no hope for them thinking Jesus would not forgive them but, also would not help them with the problem they have leaving them suffering condemnation and guilt.
