Hebrews 1

God, who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets,  has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the worlds. vv.1-2

Read chapter 1
To whom or from who we  don't ever read of the book of Hebrews.  We can gather that it is a letter written to Jews, for one the title is called Hebrews as well for the various recordings of reference to the old law, prophets and forefathers that Jews at this time would have been fully aware of.  There are also other hints through this book as well as following other time lines in the New Testament.   Many would just place it as one of Paul's epistles since he wrote so many that we have in the N.T. but the style doesn't seem to add up.  My conviction through studies is that Silas wrote this letter to the Thessalonians, though there is not room to get into this now..  
Well the letter of Hebrews is written to show Christ is higher than the Old Testament law and prophets; Jesus is put as THE HIGHEST PLACE not just equal in rank.  So often we hear today of people asking for angles to protect them, rather than Jesus or that either one would be fine.  Or how most Catholics put Mary and "saints" above or at least on the same (if not more) plane of honor as Jesus.  Even other religions recognize Jesus as another great man or prophet that once lived.  Yet Jesus has a more excellent reputation than any of Israel's most honored and we will see how the writer proves this true throughout this letter.  Why do you think it matters if Jesus is above or equal to other great men or angles?  Where do you think Christ should be placed in due honor? Where do you actually place Him in how you live each day with so many other "considered great" people?
