Hebrews 2 - 8.5.2022

Scripture - What stood out?

Hebrew 2:1,11

We must pay the most careful attention, therefore, to what we have heard, so that we do not drift away.

Both the one who makes people holy and those who are made holy are of the same family. So Jesus is not ashamed to call them brothers and sisters.

Observation - What does it say?

The author of Hebrews begins chapter two with a call to attention. Do not drift away from what you have heard. And then follows up by helping us to understand more fully the humanity of the very Divine Jesus our Lord and Savior.

Understanding - What does it mean?

how shall we escape if we ignore so great a salvation? (Hebrews 2:3)

Do not drift away.

Over the past few months battling life’s various issues here on earth I have found myself doing just that- drifting away. I have no good excuses. Just excuses. So this is what I needed to hear. I can almost see myself explaining my issues to Bob Newhart and him responding to me “STOP IT! Do not drift away…” 

Life Application - How can I apply this to my life today?

Jesus is not ashamed to call me brother.

Dear Father in heaven. Thank you for your victories this week. Thank you for helping me with my health…when I didn’t deserve it. Thank you for making me Holy…when I didn’t deserve it. Thank you for calling me brother…when I never earned it.

For my life application today, Lord, I want to repeat these words almost as an affirmation reminding myself at least 5 times today.. Please help to reinvigorate my prayer times, bible reading times, and soul journaling times. In the name of Jesus do I pray. Amen.
