Hebrews Part 3: Sleepy ChristianitySample

What’s Your Next Step of Faith?

Hebrews starts by lifting our eyes to Jesus—and ends the same way. As the final verses roll in, the tone shifts from teaching to praying. This isn’t just a nice spiritual send-off—it’s a strong, Spirit-filled declaration of God’s peace and power. After all the hard truth and real talk, the author reminds us: God’s not done with you. He’s giving you everything you need to live for Him through Jesus Christ.

As Hebrews wraps up, the author gives two final words—a blessing and a shout of praise. The blessing is a prayer asking God to give His people what they need to live for Him. The praise is a quick, powerful reminder that all the glory belongs to Jesus. It’s personal, heartfelt, and packed with strength. He’s praying to “the God of peace,” asking Him to equip the Church with “everything good” so they can do God’s will. This isn’t just encouragement—it’s fuel for the fight.

Just like it began, Hebrews closes by exalting Jesus Christ—“to whom be glory forever and ever” (Hebrews 13:21, ESV). This wasn’t just a letter; it was a word of strength from a trusted leader, likely written during a time of crisis. It stirred up the people’s faith then, and it still does today. Hebrews doesn’t end with a list of things to do—it ends with a call to trust the One who does the work in you. So, whatever you’re facing, take heart. Jesus is with you, He’s working through you, and He gets all the glory.
