Hebrews 3


Strong warnings and exhortation here for us. We have the witness of those in the past, recorded in the journeys of God's people, that we cannot neglect the work of salvation that God has wrought for us. The overarching message of the book of Hebrews is to keep Jesus front and centre in our lives. After all, if we drift away from Him, can we really say that we are his followers or that He is our Lord? Today is the day that we need to focus on our relationship with Him, and every day that is called "today".

Hebrews 2


There is no one like Jesus. He is the only one in history who has effected salvation Himself, condescending to mankind and sharing in our human experience to the fullest, even taking our penalty. Though we do not yet see the fullest culmination of God's plan, which is yet future, we see Jesus and His work, and what a beautiful sight He is to behold, as we look upon Him by faith through the Word of God.

Journey through the Bible: Hebrews



Having finished the book of Revelation, which exalts the person of Jesus Christ and His authority and His kingdom, we move into the book of Hebrews. This Sunday we will enter into the first chapter, where we will consider the nature of Jesus as God. The entire epistle of Hebrews is drawing our attention to the superiority of Jesus and our need to live with Him at the centre of our faith and focus. We are excited to be continuing our journey through the New Testament!
