So Hebrews has been my favorite book for awhile now. God hit me really hard with that book when I was on outreach in Cambodia last year.
I'm not sure if it was from all the rain this week or from my unfortunate sugar crash from the weekend, in any means it was a rough start to the week. I was so excited about this week and studying Hebrews, but it felt like I couldn't even keep my eyes open let alone retain all the information that was being thrown at me. It was a very frustrating disappointing start to my week.
Anyways I pushed through that and tried to take in all that I could because honestly it was AMAZING to be able to put yourself in the shoes of the original reader and really understand the point of the book and why it was written, it really does change your perspective.
Pretty much the main idea of this week and the book of Hebrews is - Jesus is Superior. No matter what the situation is, no matter who it is, Jesus is superior so just move forward towards him because there is nothing to go back to. I think God is going to be constantly bring this up in my life because it is very easy to fall back into the traps of our old lives, but the whole point to Hebrews is that everything falls short when it comes to Jesus, so drop everything that may hold you back for becoming more like him and run what is already marked out for you by Jesus himself. This book was written to people going through much worse persecution then we could ever imagine, so pretty much stand up - be strong and keep freaking going! There is nothing else to fall back on, so stop looking behind you.

Did you talk about who wrote Hebrews? I've always wondered...
