the Epistle to the Hebrews
Many Jewish believers, having stepped out of Judaism into Christianity, want to reverse their course in order to escape persecution by their countrymen. The writer of Hebrews exhorts them to "go on unto perfection" (6:1). His appeal is based on the superiority of Christ over the Judaic system. Christ is better than the angels, for the worship Him. He is better than Moses, for He created him. He is better than the Aaronic priesthood, for His sacrifice was once for all time. He is better than the law, for He mediates a better covenant. In short, there is more to be gained in Christ than to be ost in Judaism. Pressing on in Christ produces tested faith, self-discipline, and a visible love seen in good works.
Although the King James version uses the title "The Epistle of Paul the Apostle to the Hebrews," there is no early manuscript evidence to support it. The oldest and most reliable title is simply Pros Ebraious, "To Hebrews."
