What Makes Jesus Worth It?

Sep 27, 2026  •  Kyle Wilcox

What makes Jesus worth it? That question cuts to the heart of what it means to follow Christ, especially when following him comes at a cost. In this exploration of the book of Hebrews, we trace a sweeping argument built on a single, powerful word: superiority. The book of Hebrews was written to believers facing real pressure, people who were tempted to walk away from Christ and return to the familiar comforts of the religious world they had left behind. The question they wrestled with is the same one we face whenever faith gets expensive. Is Jesus truly enough? The answer Hebrews gives is not a feeling or a sentiment. It is a case, carefully constructed by placing Jesus alongside the greatest figures and systems the ancient world held dear. One by one, Jesus is shown to be not merely comparable to these, but categorically superior. For us today, this is not ancient history. It is an anchor for our faith in every season of difficulty and doubt.
