Prophet, Guru, or This Jesus? - Hebrews 1-3, Week 4

This discussion features: Judah Thomas, Lenny Salgado, Ben Cossette, Mike McHugh, James Gowell, and Tim Nicholson.

In Week 4 of Hebrews 1–3, we ask a simple question with huge implications: Prophet, Guru, or This Jesus?

Mike opens with how Hebrews warns God’s people about false idols—and why that warning still matters today.

James then dives into Hebrews 3 across translations, NASB1995 “consider Jesus", LEB "consider Jesus", NLT “this Jesus”, what the Greek carries for the word "consider", and why we’re called to keep our eyes fixed on Jesus and pursue the truth.

Judah walks through major world religions and how many acknowledge Jesus as a real historical person—yet redefine Him as a prophet, teacher, guru, or divine messenger. But Hebrews confronts us with this Jesus—and with Jesus’ own claim: “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me.” (John 14:6)

From there, we go “trust but verify” with the Dead Sea Scrolls and some seriously fun history rabbit trails—while continuing to marinate on the same three chapters for the fourth week in a row.

This is an epic episode: strong conversation, great detours, and lots to think about. Come along for the ride.

Read along with us: Hebrews 1–3
