Hebreërs 13:14-16

When Jesus died on the cross, His blood ran from the pillars of wood to the very depths of our spirits. We were finally reunified with God, who speaks to us through a universal language that directly translates to our situation — no matter who we are, no matter where we came from, and no matter what walls divide us. He bled out so all could come in!

In this final installment of our 9-part journey through Hebrews, we are presented with practical challenges and godly responses to life.  They are short and easy to understand—but they truly are a challenge to implement in our lives daily.  How are we to face these challenges? PRAISE. This final plan of Hebrews illustrates the importance of offering the sacrifice of praise in the midst of challenges. 

We all have a common denominator. We will die. I will die. You will die. Death will defeat you. You won’t be able to dodge it, sidestep it, trick it or make it disappear. But then there is Jesus, the man who defeated the grave. Jesus stood toe to toe with the grave and defeated death. When Jesus talks, the grave speaks.
