The book of Hebrews is one giant OT sermon in the NT. The section in view for this assignment focuses on how Jesus fulfills the OT.
Part 1: Take the NT text, Hebrews 6:13-10:18, and make an annotated list of all the ways Jesus fulfills the systems of the OT.
Starting from the beginning of this passage, complete the following:
Make a list of every OT reference: people, places, ideas, actions, themes, etc.
Then look up these OT items (using CCU’s online resources, a study Bible, online Bible software, a Bible index, etc.) and state where they are found in the OT (verses) and in what genre of OT literature.
Provide a brief explanation of what each item is or does in the OT.
Then using the text in Hebrews, articulate how Jesus fulfills or surpasses that OT idea.
Part 2: Create a succinct and clear summary of your findings. How would you communicate your conclusions to a middle-school student? In the equivalent of two pages, double spaced, communicate the following:
What is the central thesis of Hebrews 6:13-10:18?
How does this perspective connect the NT to the OT?
Submit your two-part assignment as a single file to the appropriate submission area.
Assignment Requirements:
Paper should be 6-8 pages, double spaced (not including the title and reference pages).
Written in Word using APA format (see the APA Requirements module for further assistance).
