You might find this 5 minute Gospel Coalition video from Dr Don Carson on “Jesus is better” in Hebrews helpful: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KbDaRsWi8ho

 

Jesus is better than the prophets / Old Testament revelation

Jesus is better than the angels

Jesus is better than Moses

Better than Aaron

Jesus’ priesthood is better than Levi’s priesthood

Jesus brings a better Covenant

Jesus’ sacrifice is better

Jesus has entered a better heavenly Temple

 

So stick with Jesus! Don’t be distracted from him or drift away from him. Or seek alternatives. Or be seduced by rivals. Jesus is supreme and sufficient. He is the one we really need and all we really need. Let us be fixated on him this Christmas and always!

 

For the word better (stronger / nobler) in Hebrews see 1:4; 7:7, 19, 22; 9:23; 10:34; 11:16, 35, 40; 12:24.
