Top Highlights
“‘he was rejected, for he found no place for repentance’ (12:17). The cost for Esau’s worldliness was the loss of something so much greater. He gave up everything for nothing, and by the time he realized the value of what he had forsaken, it was too late.” (Page 204)
“Fourth, God’s discipline, though painful, is ultimately valuable (Heb. 12:11).” (Page 198)
“The practical point of Hebrews 11 is that all these saints of old were born and raised in imperfection, lived lives as sinners saved by grace, and persevered through hardship with faith and hope. As mortal humans, they were no better than you and I. Therefore, we can have enduring hope to climb from the trenches, listen to the Commander’s voice, and soldier on.” (Page 193)
“While things that weigh us down and distract us may be morally neutral, the second hindrance to spiritual endurance is not: ‘the sin which so easily entangles us’ (Heb. 12:1). Any sin could trip us up—from the smallest ‘fib’ to outright apostasy. We need to prepare ourselves to run a clean race, setting aside habitual sins and avoiding the constant temptations that can cause us to stumble and fall.” (Page 195)
“But in Scripture itself, the phrase ‘word of God’ can refer to several related things. First, it can refer to the written Word of God, Holy Scripture (John 10:35; 2 Pet. 1:19–20). Second, it can refer to the ultimate embodiment of truth, the Word of God incarnate, Jesus Christ (John 1:14). Third, it frequently refers to the message of God proclaimed—the spoken word of God (Phil. 1:14; 1 Thes. 2:13).” (Page 69)
