I love the book of Hebrews, so I was excited to start re-reading it again this morning for my devotions.
In most English Bibles the first four verses are recorded as one sentence and it can be difficult to find the subject of such a long sentence. So in case you have struggled in reading chapter 1, let me help you out with the simple subject and verb of the first four verses. Subject - God; Verb - Spoke, so simply put, "God spoke."
It's a huge priviledge to understand that we can know about God and really KNOW HIM BECAUSE GOD HAS SPOKEN. We know who He is and what He is like and why Jesus, His Son came from heaven to earth. WE CAN KNOW ALL THESE THINGS ABOUT GOD BECAUSE HE HAS SPOKEN TO US.
THE QUESTION IS: "IS ANYONE LISTENING, WHEN GOD SPEAKS?"
"Bear with my word of exhortation" Hebrews 13:22
There truly is something about Hebrews that is appealing and beautiful. It majestic language and style, its bold dclarations, its sweeping arguments, its heartfelt pleas, all are without parallel in the New Testament. Here are the exhortations in Hebrews: 2:1-4 Exhortation against Drifting from God's word. 3:7-4:16 Exhortation against Disbelieving God's Word. 5:11-6:20 Exhortation against Dullness toward God's Word. 10:19-13:25 Exhortation to Draw near to God. Of the 305 verses in Hebrews, 172 are exhortation verses. This means that more than half of Hebrews consists of special appeals to its readers.
