Consider…Jesus Christ

Hebrews 3:1-2 Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus; 2 Who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also Moses was faithful in all his house.

The Book of Hebrews is about the Lord Jesus Christ!!!  It is filled with encouraging reasons why we should look to Him.  Because of His love for us and the blessings He has bestowed – this should be a natural response in the life of the believer.

We live in a world full of things that capture our attention.  These things can easily distract us from the most important things.  We are being encouraged in Hebrews 3:1 to consider Jesus Christ.  To be honest, the more I observe the things of this world, the more I understand my great need for the one who died for me on the cross. I am drawn to focus my attention on Him.

The word CONSIDER has in it the idea of observing fully, discovering, and perceiving. This is not referring to a casual look but a full examination of a subject.  There are some things about the person of Jesus Christ we need to observe fully, discover, understand, and know.  He impacts lives and there is no doubt He is worthy of our full attention!

May our FOCUS be the Lord Jesus Christ.

Hebrews 3:1-2

Hebrews 3:1-2 Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus; 2 Who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also Moses was faithful in all his house.

Christ is Faithful!!!

Christ has impacted our lives:

1) He has made us HOLY.

a) We are sinners and could never, in and of ourselves, be made holy.

b) But Christ, who was sinless, became sin for us so could be made holy.

2) He has made us FAMILY.

a) We all have by our physical birth a physical family.

b) Once saved we are made part of the family of God. We now have the blessing of being a part of an even larger spiritual family around this world.

3) He has made us PARTAKERS.

a) Have you considered the blessings God has given to His children???

b) We have the privilege of being “partakers” in those blessings!!!
