Jesus Christ is an unfathomable treasure. No words can fully express who he truly is. However, the writer of Hebrews paints beautiful portraits of Jesus expressing so many facets of who he is, what he did, and what he continues to do for us. Below are some of those portraits as expressed in “The Passion Translation” of Hebrews.
