Hebrews 10:19-25: Jesus is Superior: Live Like You Believe It

Published: Feb. 10, 2010, 6:30 p.m.

In our study of the book of Hebrews, we have learned that true believers in Christ have been granted benefits that make the perks enjoyed by presidents and billionaires pale in comparison. For the author of Hebrews, it is unthinkable that anyone could understand the great benefits of being a Christian and then turn his or her back on such incredible riches. It would be like watching President Obama sit in a traffic jam in Chicago while driving his own Toyota Camry or standing in line at the airport to buy a coach ticket to London. The image is preposterous yet we should have the same reaction when a Christian refuses to enjoy all that has been given him in Christ. In this next section of his letter (10:19-25), the author writes that our manner of living must be consistent with our professed faith.
