Monday: God Has Spoken to Us by His Son
Read Hebrews 1:1-4. What is the central idea of these verses?
In the original Greek, Hebrews 1:1-4 is only one sentence, and it has been argued that it is the most beautiful in all the New Testament from the point of view of its rhetorical artistry. Its main assertion is that God has spoken to us through His Son, Jesus.

For the Jews in the first century A.D., the word of God had not been heard for a long time. The last revelation to be expressed in the Written Word of God had come through the prophet Malachi and the ministries of Ezra and Nehemiah four centuries before. But now, through Jesus, God was speaking to them again.
God’s revelation through Jesus, however, was superior to the revelation that God had made through the prophets because Jesus is a greater means of revelation. He is God Himself, who created the heaven and the earth and rules the universe. For Paul, the deity of Christ is never in question. It’s all but assumed.
Also, for Paul, the Old Testament was the Word of God. The same God who spoke in the past continues to speak in the present. The Old Testament communicated a true knowledge of God’s will.
However, it was possible to understand its fuller meaning only when the Son arrived on earth. In the author’s mind, the Father’s revelation in the Son provided the key to understanding the true breadth of the Old Testament, just like the picture on the box of a jigsaw puzzle provides the key to finding the correct place for every one of its pieces. Jesus brought so much of the Old Testament to light.
Meanwhile, Jesus came to be our Representative and our Savior. He would take our place in the fight and defeat the serpent. Similarly, in Hebrews, Jesus is the “pioneer” or “captain” and “forerunner” of believers (Hebrews 2:10, Hebrews 6:20). He fights for us and represents us. This also means that what God did for Jesus, our Representative, the Father also wants to do for us. He who exalted Jesus at His right hand also wants us to sit with Jesus on His throne (Revelation 3:21). God’s message to us in Jesus includes not only what Jesus said but also what the Father did through Him and to Him, all for our temporal and eternal benefit.
| Think through what it means that Jesus — God — came to this earth. Why should this truth bring us so much hope? |
Amen!

Sermon “Elijah: Dealing With Depression” | Hope at Home
Do you ever feel so disheartened that it leads to depression? The account of Elijah leads us from the mountain tops of God's faithfulness to the valley of depression, where doubt and discouragement rule triumphant. We often view Elijah as a nobleman, a steadfast leader of Israel in the Bible. Someone who bravely holds his ground in the face of several false prophets. On Mount Carmel, Elijah faces the prophets of Baal and King Ahab and fearlessly delivers a bold challenge to the people of Israel. Elijah had been the only one who stood up for God and he believed God would show himself. Elijah showed deep reverence for God and a powerful prayer life. It's easy to think that God loves us while we're standing on the peak of Mount Carmel, but remember that His unchanging love is with us at all times, just like what he did to prophet Elijah. Watch the video as Pastor Sam Neves talks about Elijah's remarkable life and discover how to be like this bold and fearless prophet who demonstrated God's power to many people through his faith.
