THE LETTER TO THE HEBREWS - PART V

MOSES AS A PREPARATION FOR JESUS

B. The letter then refers to Jesus as "the apostle and high priest of our confession."

C. The letter states how it is that Moses is a model of fidelity, but Jesus is greater still.

II. The letter then goes onto the moral section, exhorting the faithful to place confidence in Christ, hold fast to the hope of eternal life, and therefore retain our places in the household of God.

III. The next section then develops the idea of entering into the "rest" of the promised Land.
