Feasting on Truth

Today we are in Hebrews 11 or as some call it “The Hall of Faith”. We often study this passage in isolation and can sometimes misunderstand what God wants from us when we do. But when we study this passage in the context with the rest of Hebrews, it brings new insight into what it means to hold fast to faith.

Hebrews 10 is at the heart of Feasting of Truth. It’s why I love gathering women around the Word. Jesus is better and when we encourage one another and meet together with Jesus at the center, we are better able to hold fast to the hope we have in Him.

Hebrews 9 points us to the truth that Jesus is the more and better sacrifice. He is the more and better Tabernacle. For us in the 21st century, these phrases may not mean much, but to the Jewish readers of this letter, it was a powerful reminder of the finality of Jesus' sacrifice that secured eternal redemption once for all.

Hebrews 8 moves us into a new section of this powerful book. He is the promised more and better Tabernacle, the new and better covenant. The old is merely a shadow pointing us to the true tent in Jesus Christ.

In Hebrews 7, the author continues to encourage us: Jesus is better. The promise He makes, what He did on the cross, it is better. But even more so, we get this amazing picture of what it means that Jesus intercedes for us. It's so much more than prayer.

In Hebrews 6, the author of Hebrews points to how Jesus is the fulfillment of the covenant God made through Psalm 110:4. And because God cannot lie, this promise, this covenant, this oath of giving Himself gives us a great gift: hope. In this episode, Erin Warren brings clarity to what this hope is and how is anchors us during life's storms and trials.

In Hebrews 5, we see Jesus compared to a high priest named Melchizedek, plus some confusing passages about Jesus' obedience and perfection. But further cultural study helps us better understand not only the model Jesus gave us for suffering, but also how He is the more and better Melchizedek.

The verses of Hebrews 4 have been instrumental is bringing hope in the storm. We have a high priest who can not only understand our weakness, but also brings help in times of need and grace and mercy that we so desperately need. He holds us together and He gives us The Word. Not lifeless babbles, but Truth that brings hope and life because the Word of God is living and active and sharp.

Hebrews 2 starts with a warning: pay close attention to what you have heard. It is because the author knows our propensity to forget. We need to be reminded of the truths of the gospel every day. We need to remember the truth of why Jesus came here in the first place and what a miracle His birth really was. He suffered and intervened on our behalf, making propitiation for our sins and running to our aide when we could not save ourselves.
