God's Pilgrims, Studies in Hebrews - CCS by Philip Mauro and published by Classics.
This volume does not contain an exposition of Hebrews.
Its purpose is rather to carry out, so far as the Lord may enable, the injunction to exhort one another daily, so long as it is called “Today.”
Another “Day” is soon coming; indeed, we can clearly see it approaching.
In that day it will be too late to give heed to the exhortations found in this portion of God's Word, and to gain the recompense of the reward that depends upon the heed given thereto. The Epistle is addressed to “Hebrews,” and the individual most frequently and most prominently mentioned in it is Abraham, who is specifically designated “the Hebrew” (Genesis 14:13).
Those acquainted with the Hebrew tongue tell us that the word signifies one who passes over or through.
We may, therefore, regard a Hebrew as a “passenger”; and certainly the message of the Epistle is for those who are passengers in this age, who have here no continuing city, but seek one in the age to come.
The message is not for Israelites, who have a place in the world and a mission to the nations thereof, but for Hebrews, who are simply passing through the world, having no place or standing therein.
