HEBREWS 1THE BOOK OF HEBREWS HEBREWS 1 OPENS WITH A SUPERIOR SAVIOR The structure of Hebrews is a different from other New Testament books; it begins like an essay, continues as a sermon and ends like a letter. Obviously, the writer was trying to reach Jewish Christians; but it is also written to a Greek frame of mind with its analysis of Jesus as the ultimate reality.

In fact, it is so personal one might wonder why it ended up in the canon of Scripture. And the answer to that becomes clear once the message unfolds.
