Jesus is greater than everything. Just read through the gospels and you'll get the picture. He's greater than a shortage of wine at a wedding. He's greater than the leprosy of 10 men. He's greater than a life threatening storm. He's greater than the hunger of 5000 people. He's greater than a legion of demons. He's greater than the philosophies of man and the religious systems of the Pharisees. He's greater than all of the sin of all humanity. He's greater than death, hell, and the devil. He's greater than our world and all of history. He's greater than space, time, and eternity. Jesus is greater!
That's the message of the Book of Hebrews. The words "more," "better," and "greater" appear a combined 25 times within the book. Hebrews was written to Jewish Christians, who were facing persecution and being pressured to revert back to Judaism and life under the law, to encourage them to persevere in the faith and in the grace of Christ Jesus. Hebrews is also an invitation for all of us today to grow deeper in our understanding and experience of God—to see Him for who He really is. No matter where you are or what you're going through right now, the truth is that Jesus is greater!
