b'In America, Christ is tiny and He is getting smaller every day. What are we to make of this Americanization of Christ? Michael Horton compares the American religious scene to Aaron and the golden calf. He notes that "It was not that Aaron was willing to have Israel worship a false God, but that he was willing to let them worship the true God falsely." We dare not repeat the same mistake. Instead, we must come to see and know Jesus in all His glory, supremacy, holiness, and beauty. The book of Hebrews instructs us in how we may best do this as the supremacy of Christ is the very theme of the entire book from the very beginning and we begin our study there.'
