Death, Judgment and Salvation

Hebrews 9:27-28: This week we are focusing on only two verses in Hebrews. These verses show the parallel between Christ’s experience of death, which will be followed by His second coming, with our experience of death which will be followed by judgment (for all) and salvation (for His people). By implication this text refutes other worldviews concerning the afterlife including reincarnation, naturalism (which says that when the body dies one’s existence ends), and those who think people get a second chance for salvation after death.

The Power of Christ’s Blood

Hebrews 9:15-26: This week we will continue our exposition of Hebrews as we further consider the necessity and significance of the sacrificial blood of Christ, our High Priest.

Questions to consider:

• How many times is the blood spoken of in Hebrews 9?
• What things does the blood do?
• Why don’t churches talk about the blood of Christ as much as they used to?

Satisfaction for the Thirsty

Spurgeon called Isaiah 55 a chapter of gospel invitation. He preached from this passage at least eighteen times.

Isaiah 55 pleads with the lost to abandon their worthless idols. The Lord offers abundant pardon and rich kingdom blessings to those who turn to Him.

Isaiah 55 also speaks to believers who sometimes waste their time and money seeking to find joy and satisfaction in worldly things instead of finding their fulfillment in Christ.

Isaiah 55 also points to Christ who offers Himself as our spiritual food and drink.

Liberty and Love

Are you strong?

Last week Paul began his discussion of the issues over which Christians differ by encouraging all of us to accept one another without judging in these difficult matters.

In this week’s text Paul focuses upon those who consider themselves strong - because they believe they have liberty to do things in which the weak cannot participate without violating his conscience.
Rather than looking down on the weak, the strong should forego the use of his freedom for the sake of those who don’t enjoy the same sense of freedom.
In so doing he is living out the gospel by imitating Christ who gave up His rights for us.
