LOOK:

All of us experience times when our faith is challenged. There are times that we can get discouraged in our spiritual journey. What the writer of Hebrews has suggested is that we need one another. When we notice a brother or sister in Christ going through trials or discouragement, we are exhorted to seize the opportunity to encourage one another. We need to remind one another of Christ’s superiority and the promises He’s already given us.

Let’s do that “as long as it is called Today!”

LOOK:

It is my prayer that you see why Jesus is not inferior because of His incarnation or humanity. In no way did His humanity diminish His superiority over all created things, but rather accentuated it! In fact we saw multiple reasons why our Lord’s humanity was neither a handicap, nor a mark of inferiority:

• His humanity enabled Him to regain man’s lost dominion.
• His humanity enabled Him to bring many sons to glory.
• His humanity enabled Him to disarm Satan and deliver us from death.
• His humanity enables Him to be a sympathetic High Priest to His people.

Let’s close with a reading from Eph 1:17-23 as one more reflection before we end our lesson.

LOOK:

The Epistle to the Hebrews exalts the person and the work of our Lord Jesus Christ. The first three verses set this high and holy theme which is maintained throughout the entire book. Their immediate purpose is to prove that Jesus Christ is superior to the prophets, men who were held in the highest esteem by the Jewish people.

Christ should be held in the highest esteem by us, and we need to present the superiority of Christ to those who are still trying to find the “best place” to place their faith! All of us can share our faith more effectively with the lost by understanding the WAYS Christ is truly superior over anything and everything that has ever been or ever will be created. With Easter around the corner, this would be an ideal time to consider having coffee with those who are seeking and searching. Invite them to this class to be a learner. Invite them to RCC to hear the gospel during the season of Lent and the weeks drawing us to the Easter celebration.
