Just as I was reflecting back over last Sunday’s message in our caregroup last night, I thought I’d draw your attention to a really useful commentary on Hebrews.
For the past few weeks I’ve been reading and studying the Book of Hebrews in my devotions. To aid me in my reading and study I’ve been using the Reformed Expository Commentary on Hebrews by Richard D. Phillips.
Richard Phillips is the senior minister of First Presbyterian Church in Coral Springs/Margate, Florida, USA. This commentray is available from Amazon.
Hebrews was written to a group of Jewish Christians facing persecution for their faith in Christ and yet speaks to every generation of Christians about standing firm in Jesus Christ. It wonderfully presents the surpassing supremacy of Jesus Christ, seen particularly from the vantage point fo the Old Testament.
The effect of reading Hebrews? As we fix our eyes on the greatness of Jesus Christ it will be an anchor for our souls in midst of persecution and suffering, and strengthen our faith!
