Day 28 - Hebrews 13:1 - 13:10

Hebrews 13:1-10 

13 Keep on loving each other as brothers and sisters. 2 Don’t forget to show hospitality to strangers, for some who have done this have entertained angels without realizing it! 3 Remember those in prison, as if you were there yourself. Remember also those being mistreated, as if you felt their pain in your own bodies.

4 Give honor to marriage, and remain faithful to one another in marriage. God will surely judge people who are immoral and those who commit adultery.

5 Don’t love money; be satisfied with what you have. For God has said,

“I will never fail you.
    I will never abandon you.”
6 So we can say with confidence,

“The Lord is my helper,
    so I will have no fear.
    What can mere people do to me?”
7 Remember your leaders who taught you the word of God. Think of all the good that has come from their lives, and follow the example of their faith.

8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. 9 So do not be attracted by strange, new ideas. Your strength comes from God’s grace, not from rules about food, which don’t help those who follow them.

10 We have an altar from which the priests in the Tabernacle have no right to eat.


Tori's Comments - 

So, Hebrews is coming to a close. I always love reading the last few comments, the last few reminders the author gives. It's like he's trying to sum up the most important things.

And the first one? "Keep on loving each other as brothers and sisters."

Unity in the church is so important. 

I also love what is said about empathy for our brothers and sisters in vs. 3. That's something that, especially today, is necessary with all of the Christian persecution going on around the world.

Vs 8 is beautiful.

Vs. 9 is important. My strength doesn't come from legalism or endless rules, but God alone.

We have an helper.
We need to keep perspective... what can mere people do to us?  We need to fear God more than what people think about us.
It is important that since Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever that we can look to all who came before us and learn from their examples of faith and how God moved.  When we rely on God He will move the same way he did since he doesn't change.

I am glad that we aren't called to follow food rules anymore and that my strength doesn't come from what I eat or do not eat but from God alone.
