Choose Jesus: A Theology of the Book of Hebrews

Abstract

The purpose of this project is to provide examples of sermons from the book of Hebrews based on a biblical theological perspective. The definition of biblical theology is explored first, along with an explanation of what a sermon from a biblical theological perspective would look like (chap. 1). The remainder of the project consists of eight sermons from key passages in the book of Hebrews. The person of Christ (Heb 1-4; chaps. 2-5) and the work of Christ (Heb 5-10; chaps. 6-7) prove convincingly that Jesus is better, and based on that truth believers must respond with faith and fortitude (Heb 10-13; chaps. 8-9). This project proposes that the theology of the book of Hebrews can be thus summarized: Choose Jesus because he is better.
