Reading Scripture with Hebrews

Scripture, we saw, is God's speech, and the Hebrew writer mines Scripture as a source of instruction for us about the relative place of angels and the Son of God. Not only is there a great deal to learn from what these Scriptures say (the surface of which we tried to scratch last week); there is also much to learn from how the writer deploys them in service of his argument. We are going to look at some of the premises from which he reasons, expressed and implied, in our sermon today. We will see that Scripture is God's speech, that in a very real sense it is God's complete speech, that it applies in Heaven as well as on earth, and that — above all — it is about Christ.
