This week John is joined by long-time friend and fellow minister Jordan Thomas. You may recognize Jordan as a contributor to the studies Behold Your God: Rethinking God Biblically and Behold Your God: The Weight of Majesty.

John and Jordan are going to spend the next few weeks discussing the descriptions of Jesus found in the book of Hebrews. This week’s discussion focuses on Hebrews 1 and the 32 (at least) descriptions of Jesus in those 14 verses.
