\nDay 2<\/strong>
\nThere is something better than undervaluing Jesus. It is embracing his uniqueness and significance.<\/i>
\nSome of us have never really given that much thought to Jesus. We\u2019ve never really invested energy and attention to examining who he is, what he said, and what he did.
\nOthers of us are so familiar with Jesus that we take who he is and what he has done for granted. We\u2019ve settled into a comfortable understanding of who he is, settling for seeing him as less than he is.
\nThroughout the book of Hebrews, we are told of the multitude of ways Jesus is better:<\/p>\n

\u2022 better than the angels (1:4)
\n\u2022 better than Moses (3:3)
\n\u2022 offers a better way of living out authentic faith (6:9)
\n\u2022 a better hope (7:19)
\n\u2022 a better covenant (7:22)
\n\u2022 a better mediator (8:6)
\n\u2022 better promises (8:6)
\n\u2022 a better sacrifice (9:23)
\n\u2022 offers better and lasting possessions (10:34)
\n\u2022 offers a better country\u2014a heavenly one (11:16)
\n\u2022 a better reward (11:26)
\n\u2022 a better resurrection (11:35)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Look up several verses from this list to explore the context for what makes Jesus better. Which ones mean the most to you?
\nWhich ones seem confusing or perhaps not particularly valuable to you based on your current understanding?
