Drift: Through Jesus

As we get deeper into the heart of Hebrews we discover that there is a bold call that the community which is formed from following Christ should be both inwardly and outwardly changed by the good news of Jesus Christ.  Chapter 13 reveals many of those differences including the call that through Christ we can offer God our best.  Our offerings should be sacrificial, not just out of our excess, but made in a way that we feel the loss of that which we give to God.  Our sacrifices of praise should happen in all seasons regardless of our circumstances because God is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow and worthy of our best offering.  Our sacrifices of doing good should draw people’s attention to the radical love of the One we follow.  And our sacrifices of sharing should say to the other that they are as important to us as we are to ourselves.  Through Jesus, and only through Jesus, can we become living sacrifices.
