Kirje heprealaisille 1:1-2

When Jesus died on the cross, His blood ran from the pillars of wood to the very depths of our spirits. We were finally reunified with God, who speaks to us through a universal language that directly translates to our situation — no matter who we are, no matter where we came from, and no matter what walls divide us. He bled out so all could come in!

Jesus — Is there anyone greater? NO! This is Part One of Nine devotional plans walking us through the Book of Hebrews. This first part sets the stage of Jesus’ Greatness and shows what sets Him apart. God’s people faced a tough choice — follow Jesus and lose everything, or go back. Is following Jesus worth losing so much? We find ourselves asking — and responding — to the same question today. 

Gewone mense soos ons word genooi om saam te kom feesvier omdat Jesus na ons toe gekom het. Sy koms het die wêreldgeskiedenis vir altyd verander! Jesus bring egter nie tydelike feesgroete nie. Stephan Joubert kom herinner jou dat Hy hierdie Fees vul met nuwe inhoud. So trek sy feesklere aan in hierdie feestyd en onthou: Hy is die rede vir Kersfees. Hy is die Een oor wie dit gaan.

Deur die loop van die lewe ervaar almal van ons pyn, verwerping, onsekerheid, konflik en teleurstelling. Dit lei onvermydelik tot vrae oor die lewe en die doel van die lewe. Daar is ongelukkig nie voldoende antwoorde op alle vrae nie. God gee egter meer as voldoende antwoorde in die Skrif sodat ons sinvol en met vreugde kan lewe.
