Begin With Prayer

Dr. McGee said, “We are living in the day of the ministry of the Holy Spirit, the day of grace, when the Spirit of God takes the things of Christ and reveals them to us.” Before you start each lesson, ask the Lord to use it to grow you up in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Invite God to open your eyes and deepen your understanding of His Word through today's passage, Hebrews 1:2 - 2:10.

Questions

1. Jesus doesn’t just tell us about God, but He shows us God. What is the difference, and why is it important?

2. For us, life can frequently feel out of control. But if Jesus truly holds the universe together by His word, how should that change the way we think about the things which overwhelm us?

3. Why was it important that the readers of the book of Hebrews understand that Jesus was superior to angels?

4. It wasn’t just that God sent His Son; Hebrews makes it clear that Jesus came at the right time. This is a great lesson for us. How can you more fully rely on God’s timing in your life?

5. When we see Jesus for who He is, we realize there is nothing else to add to what Jesus did and said. Many of us still at times struggle to want more than Jesus. Why do you think that is?

6. Do you struggle to believe God is truly in charge, given what you see in the world around you? Who in your life encourages your faith?

7. Imagine the Old Testament prophets could have foreseen exactly how God, in the person of Jesus, would fulfill the prophecies He gave them. What do you think their reactions would have been?
