Explicado para niños

Imagine you have an old rulebook for playing a game in your backyard. This rulebook says exactly what to do and where to play. It’s like that with the old way of worshipping God – there was a set place and specific rules too.

Contexto histórico

The author, traditionally believed to be Paul or another early Christian leader, wrote this letter to Jewish Christians in Rome around 60-65 AD. The audience faced pressure to return to Old Testament practices, so the writer explains how the new covenant is better.
