Welcome back to
Daily Bread. Paul shares some closing thoughts with the
Hebrews in this last chapter of his letter, once again encouraging them with
love to remain strong in faith and to be alert. He gives a little summary of
important things to remember.
Let brotherly love continue.
Don’t forget to entertain strangers,
because some people have entertained
angels
without being aware of it.
Wouldn’t it be a pleasant world if everyone were treated as if they might
be an angel?
Remember those that are in bonds,
as bound with them,
and those which suffer affliction,
as if it were you, because you are united as one in the
body of Christ.
Marriage is honorable in all,
and the bed is undefiled,
but God will judge whoremongers and adulterers.
Let your lifestyle be without covetousness,
and be content with the things that you have,
for the Lord has said, I will never leave thee or forsake
thee.
So that we may with confidence say,

Psalms 27:1
The LORD is my light
and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my
life; of whom shall I be afraid?

HOW
TO SHARE YOUR FAITH AND WAYS TO SHARE
YOUR FAITH LESSON WITH HOW TO SHARE
YOUR FAITH AND WAYS TO SHARE YOUR
FAITH EXPLANATION
Remember them which have the rule over you (your
shepherds),
who have taught you the Word of God.
Follow their Faith, listening to all that they say.
Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever.
Don’t be fooled by different and strange teachings.
It is a good thing that the heart be established with
Grace,
not with meats (sacrificial meats as in the
Old Testament), which has not helped anyone.
We have an altar, whereof they have no right to eat which
serve the tabernacle.
For the bodies of those beasts,
whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by the high
priest for sin,
are burned outside the camp.
So Jesus also, that He might cleanse the people with His
own blood,
suffered outside the gate (city).
Let us go forth therefore unto Him outside the camp,
bearing His shame.
Paul is explaining the Jewish tradition of sin offerings and sacrifices,
and comparing them to the sacrifice of our Savior. Grace is forgiveness, not
flesh. Again, as he recaps what he’s written several times before, it’s the
spiritual things, the invisible things, the things of faith that matter, not
earthly, temporal, carnal things. The same goes for our home in heaven that
we await, while we reside temporarily here on earth.
HOW TO SHARE YOUR FAITH AND WAYS TO
SHARE YOUR FAITH INFORMATION WITH HOW TO
SHARE YOUR FAITH AND WAYS TO SHARE YOUR
FAITH MEANING
For here we have no permanent city,
but we seek one (heavenly home) to come.
By Him, therefore, let us offer the sacrifice of praise to
God continually,
that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to His name.
