Why does Hebrews fit with 1 Corinthians 15 on Christ's accomplished work?

Hebrews fits with 1 Corinthians 15 because Hebrews epitomizes Christ's accomplished work of the cross and His resurrection from the dead. That is why so much time is spent in 1 Corinthians 15, which focuses on the resurrection. Both emphasize Christ's finished work and victory, though Satan is not yet under His feet.

Les explains that Hebrews is epitomized because Christ has now accomplished the work of the cross and has risen from the dead. That is why so much time is spent in 1 Corinthians 15. He also points out that even after Christ was raised victoriously over a defeated Satan, Satan is still the god of this world and is not yet under Christ's feet. Christ is to sit at the Father's right hand until His enemies are made His footstool, which Hebrews chapter 1 addresses.
