Hebrews
The Eternal Rest of God-Wayne Barber
REST = cease from works with the idea of release from anxiety, worry, insecurity. This is what is offered to us in Jesus Christ. (ED: See in depth article on REST IN THE BIBLE.)
Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus-Wayne Barber
NOTE: This lecture was given as part of the Precept Upon Precept Bible study on Hebrews and corresponds to Lesson 9 in Hebrews Part 1. This would make an excellent outline for a sermon on Hebrews 3:1-6.
How many times in our life we look at the "lions" in our life
rather than the Lion of the tribe of Judah.
Are You Drifting Spiritually?
Hebrews 2:1 - For this reason we must pay much closer attention to what we have heard, so that we do not drift away from it.
Nautical Terms Used in the Book of Hebrews
The book of Hebrews employs several Greek words which in secular use were nautical terms and give vivid pictures regarding the Christian life. These maritime expressions draw from the nautical language of the ancient world, where sea travel was essential for commerce, communication, and survival. The author of Hebrews uses these terms to convey profound theological truths about faith, perseverance, and divine aid in the time of need.
Hebrews Commentary-Charles Simeon
HEBREWS
Charles Simeon's Devotional Commentaries
"The Son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in Heaven."
Our Heavenly Calling
Therefore, holy brethren, partakers of a heavenly calling,
consider Jesus, the Apostle and High Priest of our confession.
