In these expositions, author Tim James demonstrates the book of Hebrews to show more fully than any other New Testament book that in Christ and His High Priestly ministry is to be found the fulfillment of the types, shadows and pictures of the priesthood and the offerings of the Old Testament. The inspired writer of Hebrews, without introduction or greeting, immediately sets before us that One to whom all the Old Testament pointed. The Lord Jesus Christ is that Word by whom God speaks to men and through whom we speak to God. Tim reminds us that Hebrews sets forth Christ as being better than the angels, the prophets and the priests of the Old Testament, and His sacrifice fully accomplished the salvation of God’s people. The New Covenant, Tim points out, is more excellent than the Old Covenant and Jesus Christ is not only the message of the New Covenant, but the Messenger of it as well. With clarity and simplicity, Tim sets forth the superiority of Christ and the power of his once-for-all sacrifice that “perfected forever them that are sanctified” (Hebrews 10:14). In a very methodical manner, Tim instructs the reader that the New Covenant exceeds the Old which has been done away with. This letter to the Hebrews (and all others) is a warning to all who forsake the gospel of free grace and return to the law as either a refuge for salvation or even as a rule of life. If a person professes to believe the gospel of Christ and then goes back to a legalistic system, such a treasonous act means that person, as Tim says, “will have no part in the world to come, where a man, the Man, the Messiah rules with His people.” As the author works his way through this Epistle, the reader will appreciate that he avoids technical and deep theological jargon and writes instead in an easy-to-read manner. While reading this manuscript, you will find the book to be not only an accurate exposition, but a very good devotional book as the author continually keeps the focus upon Christ and His substitutionary, justice-satisfying work of redemption.
