Hebrews: It's All About Jesus
Developing a Spiritual Workout Routine
Hebrews 12:12-17
Strengthen feeble hands and weak knees. (v 12)
- Strengthen that which is weak in a spiritual sense. Philippians 4:13, Isaiah 40:31, Ephesians 6:10, 1 Chronicles 16:11, Psalm 28:7
- How? In the Lord, With the Lord, Through the Lord, In His presence - Prayer
Make straight paths for your feet. (v 13)
- We have to read and study the Word. Psalm 119:105
Pursue peace with all people. (v 14)
- We are to share the Word with all. Romans 12:18
- We are to love them where they are but not leave them there without Jesus.
Look carefully (at Jesus, not the things of the world (v 15-17)
We need to have our gaze fiexed on the right things:
- Lest anyone fall short of God's grace (we need to share the Good News)
- Lest any root of bitterness sprout.
- Lest we see our blessings for trivial things.
