There were people living in a pluralistic society where being identified as a Christian was a bit intimidating. With so many different viewpoints and religions vying for the public’s attention, Christians were tempted to waffle on their commitment to Christ. Sound familiar? It’s not that different from today in our culture. Into that troublesome time steps the author of Hebrews to speak to the reality that our lives are all about Jesus. Sunday we look at why it’s so important to pay attention to that reality and what a difference being intentional about our faith can make in our lives. Read Hebrews 1:1 – 2:4 for some good preparation for Sunday’s message.
Therefore we must pay much closer attention to what we have heard, lest we drift away from it. For since the message declared by angels proved to be reliable, and every transgression or disobedience received a just retribution, how shall we escape if we neglect such a great salvation? It was declared at first by the Lord, and it was attested to us by those who heard, while God also bore witness by signs and wonders and various miracles and by gifts of the Holy Spirit distributed according to his will.” (Hebrews 2:1-4 ESV)
