Hebrews 7 Commentary
Hebrews 7 Commentary The scripture has a number of strange appearances, particularly in the Old Testament. The one man or the three men that visit Abraham to announce the birth of Isaac. The one man that walks and chats with Abraham over Lot’s plight in Sodom/Gomorrah.Another one meets Abraham after the defeat of the 4ContinueContinue reading “Hebrews 7 Commentary”
Hebrews 6 Commentary
Hebrews 6 Commentary In computer programming, the programmer uses a low-level language to write instructions for the computer. Don’t be mistaken about the term ‘low’; it has nothing to do with importance. Instead, it could mean foundation, base, or pillar on which you build everything else. “Turning away from useless works and believing in God”ContinueContinue reading “Hebrews 6 Commentary”
Hebrews 5b Commentary
Hebrews 5b Commentary The meat of Christianity is in the walk and not in the talk. Teaching brings us head knowledge; training brings us righteousness. The last section brings these thoughts to help us underline the word ‘training’. Christianity isn’t a light switch. You switch on and all is light, righteousness, and smiles. It isContinueContinue reading “Hebrews 5b Commentary”
Hebrews 5 Commentary
Hebrews 5 Commentary Not all titles of Jesus are inherent. Some titles come by appointment. You are a president by appointment and not by birth or character.

For to usContinueContinue reading “Hebrews 3 Commentary”
Hebrews 2b Commentary
Hebrews 2b Commentary Hebrews is a book of impossible contrasts. Impossible because the human mind won’t adjust to accommodate “these things”. On one end is an ever taller Jesus – the exact representation of the Creator God. On the other end, the same Jesus becomes human. But he doesn’t become human like us! He isContinueContinue reading “Hebrews 2b Commentary”
Hebrews 2 Commentary
Hebrews 2 Commentary Jesus’ supremacy, how do we respond? Pay attention? No. More than that; pay “most careful attention”! Verse 1 has the word, ‘therefore’. It’s literature technology that begs action based on a stated fact. This book is full of this technology! It connects the required action to a statement of fact. Look atContinueContinue reading “Hebrews 2 Commentary”
Hebrews 1 Commentary
Hebrews 1 Commentary According to God, Abraham is a prophet. Gen. 20 verse 7. Moses is also a prophet. Deut. 34 verse 10. The Book of Acts refers to David as a prophet. Acts 2 verse 30.
