THE SPITTING IMAGE, PART II
Hebrews 1:1-3
Something about a, I would guess, a year long study of this book. Hebrews, chapter 1, today

From the natural to the supernatural. Because all of us by definition of being mortal, of being
created beings, we live in an natural box and the walls are made out of time and space. And
we know somehow down deep within us that there is that supernatural that's outside of the little
natural boxes we live in, we know it's out there, it's up there, it's over there, but we can't get

to it in and of ourselves.
All the religions of the world, our efforts, of individuals in their natural boxes to get their
mental chisels and through imagination and through meditation and all sorts of means, try to
chisel a hole in our natural box, to try to at least see into the s ...
