Hebrews - Chapter 5

The author of Hebrews is unknown but was traditionally attributed to Paul the Apostle or one of his coworkers, like Barnabas or Apollos. The events described in Hebrews take place primarily in the occupied lands of the Roman empire. Hebrews was composed between 60 and 70 AD, likely during Nero’s persecution of the Church. Hebrews lays out the present priestly ministry of Christ in the life of the believer. Jesus became the permanent and perfect High Priest, going beyond all other priests by offering Himself as a sinless sacrifice on behalf of the sins of humanity.
