IN " Notes of Readings on Hebrews," the expression, " a child's book," is not intended to convey that we could by any means be independent of this most important truth. It was addressed to Jewish converts just emerging from the camp, and no part of the sacred writings conduces more to preserve the believer from the camp, or to separate him from it. The Hebrews pre-eminently sets and establishes the soul in grace. As " fellows" of Christ we are succored by Him down here from His height above as well as sustained in the Holiest. The Romans teaches me the Christian state. Hebrews leads me into the true Christian place, unfolding to me the ministry of Christ on earth and in heaven. When it is said, none of us ought to have needed Hebrews, it is not meant that we do not require this book, but that we should not be in the position of Jewish converts, to whom it was written. Their tardiness in leaving the camp was used of God to give us a wondrous unfolding of Christ, not only to help them out of the camp but to preserve every believer from slipping into the camp.
