My favorite book of the Bible is Hebrews. I greatly enjoy reading about the Tabernacle and it's architecture and purpose, and then how Jesus ultimately fulfills the Tabernacle's design within His own body.
Love it!!!
"The design of this epistle was to persuade and press the believing Hebrews to a constant adherence to the Christin faith, and perseverance in it, notwithstanding all the sufferings they might meet with in so doing. In order to do this, the apostle speaks much of the excellency of the author of the Gospel, the glorious Jesus, whose honour he advances, and whom he justly prefers before all others, showing him to be all in all, and this in lofty strains of holy rhetoric... If we compare all the epistles of the New Testament, we shall not find any of them more replenished with divine, heavenly matter than this to the Hebrews."
- Matthew Henry, Commentary on the Whole Bible, pg 1910
"Since the Epistle inscribed to the Hebrews contains a full discussion respecting the eternal divinity of Christ, his government and only priesthood (which are the main points of celestial wisdom) and as these things are so explained in it, that the whole power and work of Christ are set forth in the most graphic manner, it deservedly ought to obtain in the Church the place and the honour of an invaluable treasure."
- John Calvin, Calvin's Commentaries, Volume 22, pg 20
