Occasionally when I was studying at university, the lecturer would say, “This is going to be in the exam!” Immediately the class leaned in, people listened, and took notes with great focus.
Why? The message was immediately relevant and important!
Perhaps, the opposite experience is how passengers tend to listen to airline safety briefings—with headphones in!
This is a contrast of attention versus inattention.
The messages that angels delivered were important. Ignoring them often brought consequences!
In Luke 1, Zechariah received a message from an angel that his wife, although advanced in years (code for she’s as old as your granny), would conceive and have a son. Zechariah’s doubt in the angel’s message meant he spent the nine months of his wife’s pregnancy mute!
Jesus is a superior messenger and has a better message, therefore, we ought to pay even more careful attention (2:1). The Bible you have in your hand is that message. Jesus himself came and delivered the message in the flesh (2:3). The apostles themselves heard and eye-witnessed it, all while God bore witness to it by miracles, signs and wonders (2:4). This is a trustworthy message, passed on by the apostolic witness. You can build your life on the Word of God! Truth is the foundation of our faith.
In a time where the authority and sufficiency of God’s word is under attack, it is vital that we cling to the word of God! Sometimes, due to either complacency or familiarity, we become inattentive to the Jesus message.
‘Lord, give us ears to hear.'

A devotional following Anchor Church Sydney's teaching series through the book of Hebrews. Burn Your White Flags is a way of saying 'no surrender'/'no turning back'! For Christians facing temptation to give up on faith, Hebrews is an encouragement to keep trusting Jesus in the midst of the pressures of the world, knowing Jesus is better than anything the world offers us.
