An Exhortation to Steadfastness

We finished our study on the Cross of Christ. All the blessing of the cross are mine, but I must take hold of it by faith alone in the finished work of Christ. This pulls at us because by nature we think we have to do something. Well, the "do something" is to believe.

This week we began a study of the Book of Hebrews. I sensed that the Lord is preparing us for the trials that are to come as His return draws near. Hebrews is one continued plea to cleave to Jesus. Our faith in Christ will be severely tested. What we have in Christ is superior than anything this world can offer us. In fact, Hebrews 13:14 tells us that For here we have no lasting city, but we seek the city that is to come.

So the exhortation to us in these last days is to be steadfast, patient and hopeful in all that God has revealed and won for us in His Son, Jesus Christ.
