Hebrews 13:1~25
JESUS IS THE SAME YESTERDAY, TODAY AND FOREVER, Ron Ward
LIVE LIVES FOLLOWING THE LEADERS OF FAITH
Passage: Hebrews 13:1~8
Key verse: 8
Upon closing the letter, the author of Hebrews urges the Christian readers to live a life of faith so that they can confidently claim the help God has promised to them (6).
The foundation of Christian life is to love one another. We are to love each other in our fellowship (1), show hospitality to strangers (2), and care for those who are suffering in prison with sympathy (3). In our effort to live a life of faith, we need to honor marriage as God's institution and keep ourselves from sexual immorality (4). Keeping our lives free from the love of money is also an expression of our faith in God, who has promised that he would never forsake us (5, Deu 31:6).
We have examples of spiritual leaders' lives we can learn from and imitate (7). Consider the people who taught us the word of God, who served Jesus, and who led us to do so. Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever (8). It means even if our life circumstances may change, we can trust Jesus the same way as our leaders have.
Prayer: Father, thank you for your faithfulness. I find comfort in knowing that we can follow the teaching of our leaders who loved and served Jesus with their lives. Please help me to live as a Christian according to your will and bear spiritual fruits that are acceptable to you.
One Word: Jesus is the same
