Hebrews Outline

Hebrews 2
1-4 -- Pay close attention. Don't drift away. This salvation, declared by Jesus, this is it.
5 -- the angels in fact had no dominion given them over the world;
6-8 -- supremacy over the world given to man;
9 -- supremacy exercised by Jesus;
10-17 -- proper for Jesus to be a man; proper for Jesus to suffer.

The main object of this chapter is to show that we should attend diligently to the things which were spoken by the Lord Jesus. Don't drift away. The Old Testament is not worth more of our attention. Jesus has a supremacy that has conferred on Him, superior to any angelic being, or anyone else in the world. So, there is superiority in this gospel because Jesus outranks the angels.

We need to be diligent in attending to the words and life of Christ. Be very careful with what He has said and done.

Jesus has received honor in a special way. He is the incarnate one. He took on the form of God on earth.

He became a man to be a man and suffer the same things as man suffers and yet stand up over them, without sin.

Hebrews 3
This chapter continues the superiority theme to show that Jesus is superior to Moses. Christ, as High Priest, was superior, by far, to the high priest of the Jews.

1-6 -- Moses was faithful as a servant. Christ was faithful as a Son. His rank was higher.
-- There is danger in apostasizing from the Christian faith
7-11 - Don't harden your hearts
12 - be on the guard against unbelief
13 - exhort and stimulate one another constantly
14-19 to be steadfast until the end
