Some favourite Bible passages come from Hebrews and readers will have discovered their own as we have read this glorious and interesting book together.
We have read about rest, about God's quick and powerful word, about the throne of grace where Christ Jesus is the priest for ever under the new covenant, and about faith that is the evidence of our hope and is so substantial it becomes understanding that blossoms into love for God and our fellow man. I love that chapter 13 ends with love - which of course is the subject of our Lesson Sermon this week, and which has led us on a marvellous journey with the exposition of "faith, hope, and love, these three" with "the greatest of these" being love. The writer of Hebrews had learnt the lessons of Jesus and Paul very well indeed.
