God's Ultimate Word

God has spoken His definitive word in His Son. All previous words given by the prophets were preparatory and partial.

The Letter to the Hebrews encourages us not to abandon Jesus when difficult times come. It does so by emphasizing the superiority of what God has done in His “Son.” The Word “spoken” in Jesus is superior to the earlier revelations provided “to the fathers in the prophets.” The Letter compares the Levitical system with its incomplete rituals to the “better” priesthood and “once for all” sacrifice of the “Son,” Jesus Christ.
