In times that are past, God spoke through His Son, through whom he created the worlds. He received a name much higher than the angels. We must therefore take seriously his message. Down one point below the angels by his incarnation, his death became one with God almighty and merciful high priest, to erase the sins of the world. He is accredited with God, as Moses was in his time. But his glory is far greater than that of Moses. Harden not your heart, as did the Hebrews in the desert. Having experienced the pain itself, it is able to sympathize with our weaknesses. Are we moving towards him with full insurance. Indeed, he became for all who obey him because of eternal salvation. Let us not weaken our faith. Not forsaking the cause of our salvation. But God can not ignore the activity and love of the righteous. Jesus became for us, like Melchizedek, High Priest for ever. The Levitical priesthood, descended from Jacob and Aaron, was lower than that of Melchizedek. Jesus himself, born of Judah, not Levi was not a priest aaronide. But he is a priest in the manner of Melchizedek. It is with the oath: "You are a priest forever." (Ps 110.4). He did not need to offer sacrifices day after day because he did once for all, offering himself. The high priests of the land offered donations made to the land. But the prophet Jeremiah had predicted a new covenant, which would make the old obsolete. The high priest alone entered once a year, the Day of Atonement, the Holy of Holies with the blood of animals. Christ enters a tent eternal, of heaven, offering his own blood once for all, to remove the sins of the multitude. He will appear a second time at the end of time, for those waiting. The blood of bulls and goats could not forgive sins. Jesus also said: "Behold, I come to do your will. It deletes the first service to establish the second. It is this desire that we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ made a once and for all. "(10:9-10). Persevere ourselves in the will of God. For the offering of Christ is the only offering. Apart from the blood of Christ, "there remains no sacrifice for sins." (10.26). But "We, we are not men to defect to our loss, but men of faith for the salvation of our souls." (10.39). "Faith is the hypostasis The author of the Epistle. What is the author of the Epistle to the Hebrews? Barnaby? Apollos? ... The agreement does not exist among scholars about the anonymous author of the Epistle to the Hebrews. The attribution to the apostle Paul himself date of antiquity. It is always held firmly by the Greek Church. The oldest papyrus we have retained, the P 46, dated around the year 200, the inserts from the Pauline corpus, between the Romans and the first to the Corinthians! However the lack of subscription and keep the difference in style to immediately assign it to the Apostle, but rather a member of his entourage. The nomination of St. Barnabas comes first under the best auspices. Originally from Cyprus, he could benefit from a wide Alexandrian culture. It is known that the island of Cyprus lived for centuries in the cultural sphere, if not political, Alexandria and more generally, has always been to Egypt. As a Levite, Barnabas had been interested in aspects of liturgical worship, Judaism. He enjoyed a high reputation in the early Church. He introduced Paul himself in the circle of apostles. He accompanied him on his first missions. If a dispute between one moment to the apostle Paul, this incident should not be exaggerated. Mark the subject matter, and who had initially followed his cousin Barnabas revert disciple of Paul, who speaks with the highest praise. Paul himself mentions Barnabas in 1 Cor 9.6, where we can discern no trace of rivalry. The presence of Barnabas in Rome is reported by the pseudo-Clementine Recognitiones News and Petri cum Simone. These novels have retained a memory of history. We know that the Western Church has long been reluctant to admit the letter as Pauline. Tertullian in the early third century formally attributed to Barnabas. The psychological portrait that the author traces of himself from 13.18 to 19 in He corresponds exactly to the praise of Barnabas is found in Acts, especially Acts 11.22-24. Already he "encouraged" the disciples. The pooling of resources, advocates that the epistle (cf. Heb 13,16), suggests the generosity of Barnabas highlighted in the Acts. (Cf. Acts 4.37). He was nicknamed Barnabas, that is to say "son of encouragement" (Acts 4.36), by the apostles themselves. Any Hebrews describes itself as "a pep talk" (Heb 13:22) and contains numerous exhortations.

A Jew, a native of Alexandria, versed in the scriptures. Father Spicq explained in a very detailed study , the author of this epistle was not only growing but still Alexandrian familiar with the work of Philo, a Philonic converted to Christianity. "Demonstrating the Scriptures that Jesus is the Christ" (Acts 18:28), the formula of Luke in the Acts best defines the purpose of the Epistle to the Hebrews.
