Pause for thought
Christians must love all other christians genuinely not only offering hospitality to those that we know but to strangers also 13:1. True christian love will not forget those in prison for their faith, we can empathise as we pray or maybe we can send a letter of encouragement letting them know they are not forgotten. We are all part of the body of Christ for if one suffers we all should feel the pain 13:2, Acts 9:4, Mathew 25:31-40.
Everything about us is changing, but in the midst of this changing world we have a saviour who will never change. Every christian generation faces the challenge of novel strange ideas that attempt to draw people away from the truth of the gospel of grace. Through the Cross Jesus has made all the ways men have tried to make them selves right with God in the past obsolete. Any ”new teaching” that tries to update Jesus Christ is heretical don’t even go there! 13:8-9 see also Hebrews 1:2 .
For the Jewish believers in Christ the fact that they had left Judaism to follow Jesus meant certain persecution, they knew what it meant to suffer with Jesus outside the city. Let us keep our focus on Jesus who is the same yesterday today and forever we might have to bear some disgrace but hey! this world is only temporary the best is yet to come 13:13
Memory verse
Jesus Christ is the same, yesterday today and forever Hebrews 13:8 N.L.T.
