Hebrews 2:10-18

This week we are going to look together at a passage from the book of Hebrews. Hebrews is a bit of an interesting book. We aren’t sure who wrote it (although there have been lots of educated guesses, including Paul, Barnabas, Apollos, and Priscilla). It’s hard to date (was it written before or after the fall of the temple in Jerusalem?). And we aren’t quite confident which Hebrews it was written to (refugees from Rome? The Hellenistic diaspora?).
