“There’s no “bumper-sticker theology” in Hebrews. The writer serves meat and not skim milk. He mentions great people like Abraham, Sarah, Moses and Aaron, but the only “celebrity” in the book is Jesus Christ, the Son of God.

A.W. Tozer used to remind us that it’s difficult to get people to attend meetings where the only attraction is God. He should see the church today! The role model in the church today isn’t Jesus; it’s the latest movie or TV star, sports hero or musician. Our Lord would never have made a good American idol. “He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him, nothing in his appearance that we should desire him. He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows, and familiar with suffering” (Isa. 53:2–3). Hebrews glorifies Jesus Christ.”
