Living Spiritually
The world teaches us to live physically, but our relationship with God teaches us to live spiritually and physically. This has been the challenge for many of us and the challenge to the writer of this 2nd chapter of Hebrews to an early Christian church confronted by struggle and test of faith. The unknown author of this book uses the birth of Christ and Israel’s disobedience to God to show that Christ is the only way to God’s kingdom of perfection. Although, this letter was written to Jewish and Gentile Christians who became followers of Christ because of scripture or what they’ve seen and heard, but how do we know that Christ is the only way to perfection in God’s Kingdom?
Christ leads us to God’s glory. The glory of God is intended for all of God’s Children. Since we all have the same Father, v11 says that Jesus is not ashamed to call us his family. When you are family you are able to come together and support one another and love one another. As a family we can share what our parents have done for us before even before we were born. In a family we are able to trust each other without reservation, hesitation or doubt. In a family we focus on what will strengthen us rather than divide us. We will listen to wisdom and not what the world thinks is right for us. For us we are apart of God’s family with an elder brother who is not ashamed to call us sisters and brothers. It is this type of family perfection we seek. A family that will communicate with each other, a family that will praise God together, and a family that will not use the world’s point of view to define what God’s perfection will look like. God’s glory is eternal and everlasting life. A life with all believers devoted to God, worshiping God in spirit and truth.
Prayer: God we want our perfection in worship to be in spirit and truth. It is your glory we seek daily for eternal life. Amen.
