A Great Negligence
Hebrews 2:3 “How shall we escape if we neglect such a great salvation?” While many people are attempting to earn their way to heaven by their good works and religious rituals, how many understand that it is negligence concerning the offer of a free gift that will damn their souls. Jesus likened it to an invitation…

Behind the Scenes
Hebrews 1:14 “Are they not all ministering spirits sent out to serve for the sake of those who are to inherit salvation?” Have you ever had the privilege of a “behind the scenes” look at something? Have you ever had an opportunity to see things that are going on all the time, but oblivious to others that…

The Angels
Hebrews 1:6 “Let all God’s angels worship Him.” One of the things the Bible does for us is open our eyes to things that we could not otherwise see. One such example is in the words above. The Bible lets us know that there are glorious spiritual beings called angels. It shows us that they…

False “Christs”
Hebrews 1:5-10 “For to which of the angels did God ever say, ‘You are my Son, today I have begotten you’? Or again, ‘I will be to Him a Father, and He shall be to me a Son’? And again, when He brings the firstborn into the world, He says, ‘Let all God’s angels worship Him.’…

If You Want Something Done Right . . .
Hebrews 1:3 “After making purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high.” I’m sure you’ve heard the expression, “if you want something to be done right, you have to do it yourself!” I’ve heard this said (in fact I’ve been known to say it) when someone had asked or paid…

Ownership
Hebrews 1:2 “In these last days He has spoken to us by His Son, Whom He appointed the heir of all things.” When you think of Jesus, how do you think of Him? What’s the first thing that comes to your mind? Do you envision Him as He was depicted in a movie you’ve seen, perhaps “Ben Hur,”…

The Big Picture
Hebrews 1:1-2 “Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world.” I don’t know about you, but I’m a big picture kind of person. While I may…

Future Prospects
Hebrews 13:14-15 “For here we have no lasting city, but we seek the city that is to come. Through him then let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips that acknowledge his name.” As you look to the future, do you have an attitude of anticipation or dread? Your answer…

The Faithful
Hebrews 10:23 “Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful.” Wherever we find a word of encouragement in God’s Word regarding some issue of life, it’s because we need that encouragement. Another way to think about this is that if the things that our supernatural Creator…
