I love the book of Hebrews because it emphasizes how important Christ is. One example of this is Hebrews 7:1-2, "For this Melchisedec, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him: To whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all: first being by interpretation King of righteousness, and after that also King of Salem, which is King of peace". In verse 3 it goes on to say that Jesus has no end and that He is the son of God. Christ is above all because of what he has done for us.
Hebrews was written by a committee and their writing shows us that Jesus Christ deserves all of the glory of the atonement. I am so thankful for my Savior, Jesus Christ and all that He has done for me. I know that he should come before all things. He should come before the temptations and doubts that I may face during this life. Sometimes it can be hard to be constantly obedient and faithful because of the temptations we face, but keeping Jesus Christ in my mind and heart helps me a lot. He is with me and wants me to succeed, which is why he died for me.
