Heb. 13
This chapter deals with so many issues ranging from hospitality to strangers to adultery and sexually immoral people. The Bible has a word on all the things that we need to know. I want to list some of the topics covered in this chapter:
- Be hospitable to strangers.
- Remember those who are in prison.
- Hold marriage and the marriage bed in honor and undefiled.
- Keep free from loving money.
- Be content.
- Don't fear what man can do to you.
- Remember leaders, those who taught us the word, and imitate their lives.
- Jesus is timeless and unchanging.
- Watch out for diverse and strange teachings.
- Be strengthened by grace and not foods.
- Jesus suffered outside the camp and shed His blood for us.
- We have a lasting city yet to come.
- Through Jesus we an offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, the fruit of lips that acknowledge His name.
- Do good.
- Share what you have.
- Obey leaders and submit to them because they keep watch on our souls.
- Pray for believers.
So much vital information all packed into one chapter. And yet there is more. The book has a beautiful and fitting benediction.
Now may the God of peace who brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, the great shepherd of the sheep, by the blood of the eternal covenant, equip you with everything good that you may do his will, working in us that which is pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.
Father,
I ask that through Jesus You equip me with everything good that I may do Your will. I want to be pleasing in Your sight and give glory to Jesus who is the rightful owner of all glory forever,
In His name,
Amen
