You've Been Warned (12 of 28)
Series: Jesus - Greatest Of All Time
Tim Badal
Hebrews 6:1-12
We're in a series we've entitled ''Jesus: Greatest of All Time'' and are working verse by verse through the book of Hebrews. Today we find ourselves in Hebrews 6, but before we go there, I want to bring you in on a little bit of what I knew growing up as a kid. I knew when my parents were mad at me. It wasn't that they had to yell and scream. They did, but that's not how I knew. They didn't need to storm up and down the hallway, even though they did. The way I knew the level of trouble I was in came from the way they spoke my name. It was a one-alarm trouble for Tim when they would say, ''Timothy!'' I knew then I was in a little trouble-misdemeanor level trouble. It moved into greater trouble when I would hear them say, ''Timothy Daniel!'' A three-alarm fire in my life was when I heard ''Timothy Daniel Badal!'' Then I knew it was time to head out and join the circus when neither of my parents were able to remember my name. How many of you have been there?
What I learned about these warnings was that they always came from love. My parents were mad, but they loved me. Second, the warnings came out of their desire to protect me from things I should not be getting into. Third, these warnings were given for my good, even if it didn't feel like that at the time.
That's what warnings are for. They help us. Sometimes we are given warnings even before we've done something wrong. ''Hey, beware of this. Be careful about that.'' Then there are warnings that happen in the middle of us doing something we shouldn't do. ''Listen, in the heat of the moment, don't you dare...'' -fill in the blank. Finally, there are warnings that come after the problem takes place. ''If you think you can do that and not get in trouble, you've got another think coming.'' I never knew what the other ''think coming'' was, but I didn't like it.
All of us live in a world of warnings which leads ...
