Over the coming months and through our study of the book of Hebrews, we aim to meditate frequently on the glory of Jesus Christ. May our souls be revived by a constant view of his glory - in this book which invites us to consider Christ Jesus, the exalted Savior of weary pilgrims like us. This week we look to Hebrews 11:23-31.

Faith fears God (V. 23, 27)

“The fear of the Lord leads to life, and whoever has it rests satisfied…” Proverbs 19:23

Faith chooses Christ (V. 25-26)

“If we consider the unblushing promises of reward and the staggering nature of the rewards promised in the Gospels, it would seem that Our Lord finds our desires not too strong, but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea. We are far too easily pleased.” -  CS Lewis

Faith Takes Risks (V. 28-31)

“You had compassion on those in prison, and you joyfully accepted the plundering of your property, since you knew that you yourselves had a better possession and an abiding one.” Hebrews 10:34

“The Lord is my helper; I will not fear; what can man do to me?” Hebrews 13:6 / Psalm 118:6

“For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed.” 1 Corinthians 5:17

“Worthy is the lamb who was slain.” Revelation 5:12
