Before I Go, Don't Forget! (26 of 28)
Series: Jesus - Greatest Of All Time
Tim Badal
Hebrews 13:7-16
Turn to Hebrews 13 as we continue in our series titled ''Jesus: Greatest of All Time.'' We're in the final weeks of this series that we've been in since last fall, looking at this letter written to Jewish Christians who had left the Jewish faith and were now getting pushback for standing up for Jesus. The author is telling them, ''All this is worth it, because Jesus is superior to anything else we could ask for or imagine.'' He is encouraging them to keeping running the race with endurance and perseverance. We've looked at 12 chapters of doctrine and teaching, but now in chapter 13 he's closing out this long sermon with some final thoughts. He's saying, ''Before I go, I don't want you to forget some things.''
Now, if you're a parent, you know exactly what the writer is talking about. If you're able to leave home for an extended time, you no doubt will go over the list of things you want them to remember. In the Badal house, it usually happens with Mom and Dad in the laundry room, yelling to the boys, ''Don't forget to clean up after yourselves. Don't forget to take the dog out for some walks. Don't forget to feed him. Don't forget to pick up your brother after practice. Don't forget your homework.'' We know our boys will inevitably forget to do all of these important things that impact their lives.
Last week we started Hebrews 13 and the list of reminders began. We were told we need to show hospitality to strangers and prisoners. We were reminded to live sexually pure lives. We were cautioned not to let the love of money overtake us. Today we'll get four more reminders that the author doesn't want us to forget, because we can sometimes do just that. So let's start at Hebrews 13:7 where we'll take a few verses at a time:
7 Remember your leaders, those who spoke to you the word of God. Consider the outcome of their way of life, and imitate their fai ...
