* favorably compares the Christian faith to the Old Testament faith.

* exalts Jesus Christ as Lord.
Hebrews was written with a twofold intent:

1. To confirm Jewish Christians by showing that Judaism had come to an end through the fulfillment by Christ of the whole purpose of the law; and

2. The passages of exhortation show that the Writer had in view the danger of Jewish professed believers of either lapsing back into Judaism, or of pausing short of true faith in Jesus Christ.

The key-word is "better." Hebrews is a series of contrasts between the good things of Judaism and the better things of Christ.
