The book of Hebrews is the bridge that connects the Old Testament and the New. These covenants are completely different and yet many Christians approach God on the basis of Old Testament Law instead of New Testament faith. The entire book is about Jesus and how He is the guarantee of a new and better covenant. It is essential for every Christian to understand.
The New Testament shows us repeatedly that those who were helped by Jesus would tell others about Jesus. This is a pattern that reminds us that this is our purpose also.
In this lesson you will be challenged to preach Christ crucified just as Paul did. The emphasis of our preaching must be Christ and the meaning of his death. This material was borrowed from Jim McGuiggan in his book The Dragon Slayer, chapter 1: The Crux of the Matter. For a much better understanding, I strongly encourage reading this book.

Hebrews 9:8-11 the Holy Spirit this signifying, that the way into the holy place hath not yet been made manifest, while the first tabernacle is yet standing; 9 which is a figure for the time present; according to which are offered both gifts and sacrifices that cannot, as touching the conscience, make the worshipper perfect, 10 being only (with meats and drinks and divers washings) carnal ordinances, imposed until a time of reformation. 11 But Christ having come a high priest of the good things to come, through the greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this creation,

The Pontifical Assembly of the Whole Church is to examine divine revelation and how it is handed on. The synod takes its direction from the words of St. John: "We announce to you the eternal life which dwelt with the Father" (1 John 1:2-3).
In the beginning God created man in Christ, and through Christ man might have access to the Father and come to share in the divine nature (see Eph. 2:18; 2 Peter 1:4). In his goodness and wisdom God chose to reveal Himself and to make known to us the hidden purpose of His will. In Revelation, God out of abundance of His love speaks to men as friends and lives among them. This plan of revelation is realized by deeds and words having an inner unity. By this revelation then, the deepest truth about God shines out for our sake in Christ, who is both the mediator and the fullness of all revelation.
From the beginning God has kept the human race in His care, to give eternal life to those who perseveringly do good in search of salvation. Through the patriarchs and after them through Moses and the prophets, He taught this people to acknowledge himself as the one living and true God.
After speaking to men in many ways through the prophets, "now at last in these days God has spoken to us in His Son" (Heb. 1:1-18). For this reason Jesus perfected revelation by fulfilling it through his whole work of making himself present and manifesting himself.
In our Christian faith is an obedience by which man commits his whole self freely to God, offering the full submission of intellect and will to God who reveals. To make this act of faith, the grace of God and the interior help of the Holy Spirit must precede and assist, moving the heart and turning it to God.
A sacred synod has affirmed that God, the beginning and end of all things, can be known with certainty from created reality by the light of human reason. It teaches that it is through His revelation that those religious truths which are by their nature accessible to human reason can be know by all men with ease, with solid certitude.
In the beginning Jesus commissioned the Apostles to preach to all men that Gospel which is the source of all saving truth and moral teaching. This commission was faithfully fulfilled by the Apostles who, by their oral preaching, by example, and by observances handed on what they had received from the lips of Christ.
The Apostles left bishops as their successors, "handing over" to them "the authority to teach in their own place" (see 1 John 3:2). But in order to keep the Gospel forever whole and alive within the Church, they made bishops their successors. This sacred tradition, therefore, and Sacred Scripture of both the Old and New Testaments are like a mirror through which the pilgrim Church on earth looks at God.
The Apostles, handing on what they themselves had received, warn the faithful to hold fast to the traditions which they have learned either by word of mouth or by letter (see 2 Thess. 2:15). And so the apostolic preaching was.

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.
