This entire chapter is meant to conclude the book to
the Hebrews of the first century Church. This chapter
contains final exhortations to the audience for them
to make a final break with rabbinic Judaism. The
unchanging Lord Jesus remains our great High Priest
who gave us the Perfect Sacrifice of Himself. The
entire world needs the salvation that is only
available through the death and resurrection of the
Lord Jesus (John 14:6; Acts 4:12; I Corinthians
15:1–4; etc.).
The concluding chapter to the book of Hebrews
contains three exhortations to the first century
Jewish audience. Those are:
1. Social obligations (Hebrews 13:1–6)
2. Religious obligations (Hebrews 13:7–17)
3. Personal obligations (Hebrews 13:18–25)
