While many letters written during the first century start with the author of the letter as a way to establish their authority, Hebrews starts with Jesus. It's as if he is saying "It's not about me; it's about Jesus." The author of Hebrews gives us this power-packed picture of Who Jesus is and why He is worth following. He leaves no question: Jesus is God the Son and His place and His authority are above all.
In this companion teaching to the Feasting on Truth Bible study titled Way Maker, Erin H. Warren explains the character of Jesus found in this passage and also gives the background information that helps us understand how Jesus became the Way Maker, making purification for sins, and sitting down at the right hand of the Father.
