How Hebrews 10 fits the whole book

Hebrews exalts Christ as superior to angels, Moses, the priesthood, and the old covenant — and calls weary believers to keep going. Chapter 10 of Hebrews contributes to this larger story by deepening one or more of the book's themes — for example, god's character and glory and sin, grace, and redemption.
