Suffering Perfected Obedience (Hebrews 5:7-14). Being fully human enhances the magnificence of Christ. That Christ walked through the human weakness yet stayed faithful all the way to the cross is the heroic story. He completed what we are not able for our sake.  #dailydevotion #Lutherandevotional #DailyPlunge

Hold Fast High Priest (Hebrews 4:14-5:6). You have received a mediator who actually goes to the mat for you. Not some flunky spouting words. Christ knows you and your weakness. Christ represents you. Christ makes the cosmic sacrifice for you. Do you know Christ?

Believe In Real Rest (Hebrews 4:1-13). What gives real rest, even in the midst of turmoil? We fail to obtain this promised rest from God when we doubt his word and disobey God. The Word of God cuts through the crap in our lives to get to the point of the matter.

Encourage Believers Daily (Hebrews 3:12-19). Sin-filled, unbelieving hearts turn us away from the living God. Each of us is called to share Christ and encourage one another daily. Hear his voice, trust his Word and enter His rest.

God’s House Builder Son (Hebrews 3:1-11). Fix your mind on Christ alone. Moses and all other servants of the Law cannot get you into God’s rest. The greatly honored Christ the Son is the builder and master over God’s house. Cling firmly to your confidence in Christ.

Necessary Humanity Sharing (Hebrews 2:11-18).  Christ doesn’t come to redeem angels, but to help the children of the Promise. Christ had to be human to break the enslavement of sin and the fear of death. The one tempted for your sake gladly calls you his own.  #dailydevotion #Lutherandevotional #DailyPlunge  #BookofHebrews

Jesus Salvation Announcement (Hebrews 2:1-10). Be vigilant to pay attention to what you heard from Christ. If messages from angels are binding, how much more binding is the message of Christ backed up by signs, wonders and miracles from God and the gifts of the Holy Spirit? #dailydevotion #Lutherandevotional #DailyPlunge #BookofHebrews

Real Superiority of Christ (Hebrews 1:5-14). God never claimed an angel as an heir. Angels are just ministering messengers serving God. The Son is endowed with righteousness and justice, and anointed with joy. Christ the Son is the right hand of God ruling over all powers.

Magnificent Christ Introduction (Hebrews 1:1-4). Christ is the greatest and ultimate revelation from God. Christ who created everything with the Father is the exact representation of God’s glory. Christ is great and ultimate because he dies and is raised for you.  #dailydevotion #Lutherandevotional #DailyPlunge

Benevolent Saving Vengeance (Psalm 118). When you are pressed down who brings you to refuge? What can mere mortals do to you? The vengeance of the Lord redeems us from sin. Christ is the gate, the cornerstone, the Blessed One who comes in the name of the LORD. #dailydevotion #Lutherandevotional #DailyPlunge
