Remember your leaders, those who spoke to you the word of God. Consider the outcome of their way of life, and imitate their faith. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. Do not be led away by diverse and strange teachings, for it is good for the heart to be strengthened byContinue reading “Hebrews 13: 7-16…. Remember Jesus.”

Hebrews 12: 25-29… There is more to come!
See that you do not refuse him who is speaking. For if they did not escape when they refused him who warned them on earth, much less will we escape if we reject him who warns from heaven. At that time his voice shook the earth, but now he has promised, “Yet once more IContinue reading “Hebrews 12: 25-29… There is more to come!”
Hebrews 12: 18-24…. A comparison.
For you have not come to what may be touched, a blazing fire and darkness and gloom and a tempest and the sound of a trumpet and a voice whose words made the hearers beg that no further messages be spoken to them. For they could not endure the order that was given, “If evenContinue reading “Hebrews 12: 18-24…. A comparison.”
Hebrews 12: 14-17…. Moral requirements.
Strive for peace with everyone, and for the holiness without which no one will see the Lord. See to it that no one fails to obtain the grace of God; that no “root of bitterness” springs up and causes trouble, and by it many become defiled; that no one is sexually immoral or unholy likeContinue reading “Hebrews 12: 14-17…. Moral requirements.”
Hebrews 11: 32-40… The list goes on.
And what more shall I say? For time would fail me to tell of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, of David and Samuel and the prophets— who through faith conquered kingdoms, enforced justice, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, quenched the power of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, were made strong out ofContinue reading “Hebrews 11: 32-40… The list goes on.”
Hebrews 10: 32-39…..Remember where you’ve been.
But recall the former days when, after you were enlightened, you endured a hard struggle with sufferings, sometimes being publicly exposed to reproach and affliction, and sometimes being partners with those so treated. For you had compassion on those in prison, and you joyfully accepted the plundering of your property, since you knew that youContinue reading “Hebrews 10: 32-39…..Remember where you’ve been.”
Hebrews 10: 8-18….Christ – the Perfect sacrifice
When he said above, “You have neither desired nor taken pleasure in sacrifices and offerings and burnt offerings and sin offerings” (these are offered according to the law), then he added, “Behold, I have come to do your will.” He does away with the first in order to establish the second. And by that willContinue reading “Hebrews 10: 8-18….Christ – the Perfect sacrifice”
Hebrews 10: 1-7…Reality v Shadow.
For since the law has but a shadow of the good things to come instead of the true form of these realities, it can never, by the same sacrifices that are continually offered every year, make perfect those who draw near. Otherwise, would they not have ceased to be offered, since the worshipers, having onceContinue reading “Hebrews 10: 1-7…Reality v Shadow.”
Hebrews 9: 16-28…. Bit by bit more is added.
For where a will is involved, the death of the one who made it must be established. For a will takes effect only at death, since it is not in force as long as the one who made it is alive. Therefore not even the first covenant was inaugurated without blood. For when every commandmentContinue reading “Hebrews 9: 16-28…. Bit by bit more is added.”
Hebrews 9: 11-15….Comparisons
But when Christ appeared as a high priest of the good things that have come, then through the greater and more perfect tent (not made with hands, that is, not of this creation) he entered once for all into the holy places, not by means of the blood of goats and calves but by meansContinue reading “Hebrews 9: 11-15….Comparisons”
