Have the trials of this world ever caused you to doubt your faith? You're not alone. The people addressed in the Book of Hebrews were facing persecution from the faithless culture around them. As a result, their early enthusiasm had waned, and they were tempted to return to their former religion. The author of Hebrews takes up the challenge--to demonstrate the superiority of the new covenant over the old, the finality of the work of Christ over the never ending sacrifices of the former code.
