Love and Discipline - Epistle to the Hebrews Part 35
The theme of the epistle to the Hebrews centered around the superiority of Christ over Judaism. Beyond superior, He is God. The author intended to warn the readers to continue in the faith, endure the hostility and persecution. The author instructed the readers, lay aside the sin that easily entangles, and to fix their eyes on Jesus, the author, and finisher of their faith. He once again reminded them to run the race with perseverance marked out for us. Included in his exhortation was to fix their eyes on Jesus, the pioneer, and perfecter of their faith. Christ endured the hostility, despising the shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God (12:1-2). The author would then discuss the value of discipline and that the readers should not lose heart when God disciplines them.
