| 0:00.0 | Hey Bible readers, I'm Tara Lee Cobble, and I'm your host for the Bible recap. |
| 0:13.0 | Today we drop back in on the book of Hebrews and its rich descriptions of Jesus and His |
| 0:17.0 | supremacy over all things. |
| 0:19.5 | Chapter 7 opens by continuing to compare him to the Old Testament priest, Melchizedek. |
