EZEKIEL 22:
Yesterday we heard of the sword of the Lord,
which was to come to Jerusalem, actually in the form of the army of
the king of Babylon. And there would be punishment also for the
Ammonites.
ISAIAH 6:
In
yesterday’s reading, we heard one of the famous chapters that
relate to Israel as the Lord’s vine. This would have been in the
minds of those who listened to Jesus when he gave his teaching
about the vine bearing fruit in John 15. God said yesterday, “They
will go into exile because they do not know me.”
HEBREWS 3:
In
Hebrews 2 we heard the first of the writer’s warnings. The writer’s
increasingly strong warnings are a persistent theme in this book.
And for the first time we heard that Jesus is our perfect High
Priest. Jesus is perfect for that position because he fully shared
our human existence, and he suffered and defeated the devil’s power
over death.
NLT Translation note:
Heb.3:19 So we see that [they were unable to
enter his rest because they refused to believe him.// because of
their unbelief they were not able to enter his rest.]
