Many first-century Jewish Christians were tempted to abandon Christianity on account of persecution and hardship. Their temptation was to return to the comforts of the familiar. The book of Hebrews was written to encourage the church to remain focused on Jesus Christ. In our passage, we are called to see the importance of clinging to Christ as our Great High Priest. The Word of God will judge us all in truth, and when that judgment falls, we will need a Great High Priest to speak mercy over us.
