Hebrews 12:1-2, “Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that […]

Hebrews 13:20

Hebrews 13:20

  Hebrews 13:20, “…God…brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, the great shepherd of the sheep, by the blood of the eternal covenant….” What’s always struck me as interesting about this text is the way this “eternal covenant” seems to be instrumental in the resurrection of Christ.

Hebrews 2:9

  Hebrews 2:9, “…so that by the grace of God He might taste death for everyone.”   The idea for today’s verse picture was planted as I listened last week to a talk by poet/philosopher/priest Malcom Guite. During his presentation, he mentioned that he already knew what his death would be like because he’d seen

Numbers 11:20

  Numbers 11:20, “…you have rejected YHWH who is among you and have wept before Him, saying, “Why did we come out of Egypt?” Notice the strong language that Moses uses to describe what we might consider a comparatively “innocent” situation.
