Things we should never forget – Dr David Petts
Notes:
Hebrews 13:1-21 Things we should never forget
Introduction
Why Hebrews was written
Main theme: BETTER. For example read 12:18-24. More later
Now, in the final chapter, the writer wants to emphasise things that Christians should never
forget. Vv. 2, 3, 7, 16.
A DON’T FORGET WHAT GOD HAS DONE FOR YOU
V12 Jesus has died for us (as a sin offering v 11), to make us holy, fit for heaven
V9 This is by his grace, not by religious ceremony. What we have is BETTER. We
have:
A better sacrifice (9:23), a better covenant (8:6), better promises (8:6), a
better hope (7:19), a better country (11:16), and better and lasting
possessions (10:34).
B WHAT GOD EXPECTS OF YOU
VV 15-16 To offer sacrifices of praise, confessing his name, doing good (to strangers
[2], to sufferers [3], to spouses [4])
Vv 7+17-19 To remember your leaders – imitate them (7), obey them (17), pray for
them (18-19)
V5 To be content with what you have
C WHAT GOD HAS PROMISED YOU
V 5 He will never leave you
V6 He will help you
V 14 Your heavenly home is waiting for you
D WHO JESUS IS
V 8 The same – his love, his compassion etc.
V 20 He is the risen Christ
He is the great shepherd
Our equipper
Worthy of glory for ever and ever
