Hebrews: True and Better Community

Essence of the Church is Christ’s work and Christ’s people

Jesus creates the true and better community

“But exhort one another every day, as long as it is called “today,” that none of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin  For we have come to share in Christ, if indeed we hold our original confidence firm to the end.” Hebrews 3:13-14

EXHORT (Parakaleo to plead/comfort)

Jesus is the True and Better: Word, Promised Rest, Priest, Covenant, Sacrifice and Access

The essence of the Church is Christ’s work and Christ’s people.

People who have offended me
People I have offended
People who go through hard life circumstances

-Jesus did not just give you something better for YOU! He gave YOU to each other.

“and since we have a great priest over the house of God, let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.” Hebrews 10:21-22

“Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful.” Hebrews 10:23

“And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.” Hebrews 10:24-25

Let US:
Draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith.
Hold fast the confession of our Hope.
Stir up one another to love and good works.
