Supremacy of Christ: A Study in Hebrews

DAY 13 OF 13

What does it say?

Believers are equipped with everything good for doing God’s will.

What does it mean?

Hebrews closes with reminders of how to demonstrate the difference that Jesus has made in various areas of life. The author covers everything from marriage to finances to caring for the poor and those in prison. But doing God’s will is not simply good behavior for the sake of being good. When spiritual leaders obey these instructions, the world sees the difference that Jesus makes in life and in a church family. Likewise, the church is to care for and encourage pastors and leaders. Followers of Christ are given the ability to behave and talk in a way that separates them from the world because they serve the God who judges the world and who gave Himself to save it.

How should I respond?

Jesus commands His followers to be different from the world. These commands come with the ability to obey them through the power of the Holy Spirit. How is the Jesus difference evident in your marriage, finances, or church life? Truly putting your heart into obeying all these instructions will create a distinct difference between your behavior and that of your neighbors. Many times, though, we’re hesitant to get outside the norms of what’s culturally acceptable; we shrink back from being rejected for our faith. Ask God to lead you to do what’s within His will. How will you show the Jesus difference today?

About this Plan

Supremacy of Christ: A Study in Hebrews

Although the authorship of Hebrews is unclear, the message of the book could not be clearer: Jesus Christ is superior to all. Jesus’ name is greater than the angels, He is more faithful than Moses, and only His blood has the power to take away sin. Hebrews reminds us to look to Jesus and faithfully run the race He has called us to.
