 Barnabas and Apollos strong candidates.
Hebrews 11:6 without
faith it is impossible
to please Him, for he
who comes to God
must believe that He is
and that He is a
rewarder of those who
seek Him.
Hebrews 1:10“You, Lord,
in the beginning laid the
foundation of the earth,
And the heavens are the
works of Your hands; 11 They
will perish, but You remain;
And they all will become old
like a garment, 12 And like a
mantle You will roll them up;
Like a garment they will also
be changed. But You are the
same, And Your years will
not come to an end.”
Christ is the centre of
the universe. If we make
him the centre of our
lives, it will run in
harmony with His
purpose for the
universe.
What are the other
descriptions in ch 1 and
2 alluding to Christ as
centrepiece.
Hebrews 4:9 There
remains, then, a Sabbath-
rest for the people of
God; 10 for anyone who
enters God’s rest also
rests from their works, just
as God did from his. 11 Let
us, therefore, make every
effort to enter that rest, so
that no one will perish by
following their example of
disobedience.
Four types of rest in the
bible:
 R est in Christ, soul rest:
Matthew 11:28
 E ternal rest Hebrews
4:9
 S abbath rest Hebrews
4:9
 T emporal rest: Hebrews
4:8
Hebrews 7:15 For we do not
have a high priest who cannot
sympathize with our
weaknesses, but One who has
been tempted in all things as
we are, yet without sin..
Hebrews 4: 27 who does not
need daily, like those high
priests, to offer up
sacrifices, first for His own
sins and then for the sins of
the people, because this He
did once for all when
He offered up Himself
Uniqueness of Christ the
High Priest”
 Path to God: Hebrews
10:19,20
 Reached through humble
obedience: Hebrews 5:8,9
 Is God: Hebrews 1:10
 Empathizes with us: 4:15
 Sinless Sacrifice:
4:15,7:27
 Timeless: 7:3,27
Hebrews 8:10 “For this is
the covenant…
I will put My laws into
their minds, And I will
write them on their
hearts. And I will be their
God, And they shall be My
people. 11 “And they shall
not teach everyone his
fellow citizen.. For all will
know Me, From the least
to the greatest of them.
Hebrews 6:1
Therefore leaving the
elementary teaching
about the Christ, let us
press on to maturity,
not laying again a
foundation of
repentance from dead
works and of faith
toward God
Hebrews 6:5 and have
tasted the good word of
God and the powers
of the age to
come, 6 and then have
fallen away, it
is impossible to
renew them again to
repentance, since they
again crucify to
themselves the Son of
God and put Him to open
shame.
Hebrews10:19
Therefore, brethren,
since we have
confidence to enter
the holy place by the
blood of Jesus, 20 by a
new and living way
which He inaugurated
for us through the
veil, that is, His
flesh,
Hebrews 11:1 Now faith
is the assurance of
things hoped for, the
conviction of things not
seen.
 Full
 Assurance
 In
 Triumphant
 Hope
Hebrews 1b,2a..let us run
with endurance the race
that is set before
us, 2 fixing our eyes on
Jesus, the author and
perfecter of faith.
 Righteousness
 Attained by
 Christlike
 Endurance
Hebrews
12:28 Therefore, since
we receive a kingdom
which cannot be
shaken, let us show
gratitude, by which we
may offer to God an
acceptable service
with reverence and
awe;29 for our God is a
consuming fire.
So let’s go outside, where
Jesus is, where the
action is—not trying to
be privileged insiders,
but taking our share in the
abuse of Jesus. Ch 13:13
MSG
14 For here we do not have
a lasting city, but we are
seeking the city which
is to come. Ch 13:14
(NASB)
The real action
is outside the
privileged zone
Though the cause of evil
prosper,
yet the truth alone is
strong;
Though her portion be the
scaffold,
and upon the throne be
wrong;
Yet that scaffold sways the
future,
and behind the dim
unknown,
Standeth God within the
shadow,
keeping watch above His
own.
From “Once to Every man
and Nation” - James R lowell

10 Real Action 13 With Christ Privileged zone
1. In what ways do we as Christian believers
still behave and think like the Jews? How can
we change our mind set?
2. If Christ is truly centre what will be different
in our lives? Why are we resisting it?
3. How can we achieve rest here and now?
4. Reflect on “real action is outside privileged
zone”. What can you do to get into the
“action zone”?

  • 9. Hebrews 1:10“You, Lord, in the beginning laid the foundation of the earth, And the heavens are the works of Your hands; 11 They will perish, but You remain; And they all will become old like a garment, 12 And like a mantle You will roll them up; Like a garment they will also be changed. But You are the same, And Your years will not come to an end.”
  • 10. Christ is the centre of the universe. If we make him the centre of our lives, it will run in harmony with His purpose for the universe. What are the other descriptions in ch 1 and 2 alluding to Christ as centrepiece.
  • 11. Hebrews 4:9 There remains, then, a Sabbath- rest for the people of God; 10 for anyone who enters God’s rest also rests from their works, just as God did from his. 11 Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one will perish by following their example of disobedience.

  • 13. Hebrews 7:15 For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in all things as we are, yet without sin..

  • 16. Hebrews 6:1 Therefore leaving the elementary teaching about the Christ, let us press on to maturity, not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God
  • 17. Hebrews 6:5 and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come, 6 and then have fallen away, it is impossible to renew them again to repentance, since they again crucify to themselves the Son of God and put Him to open shame.
  • 18. Hebrews10:19 Therefore, brethren, since we have confidence to enter the holy place by the blood of Jesus, 20 by a new and living way which He inaugurated for us through the veil, that is, His flesh,

  • 21. Hebrews 12:28 Therefore, since we receive a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us show gratitude, by which we may offer to God an acceptable service with reverence and awe;29 for our God is a consuming fire.
  • 22. So let’s go outside, where Jesus is, where the action is—not trying to be privileged insiders, but taking our share in the abuse of Jesus. Ch 13:13 MSG 14 For here we do not have a lasting city, but we are seeking the city which is to come. Ch 13:14 (NASB)
  • 23. The real action is outside the privileged zone
  • 24. Though the cause of evil prosper, yet the truth alone is strong; Though her portion be the scaffold, and upon the throne be wrong;
  • 25. Yet that scaffold sways the future, and behind the dim unknown, Standeth God within the shadow, keeping watch above His own. From “Once to Every man and Nation” - James R lowell
  • 26.  REST: Rest in Christ, Eternal rest, Sabbath rest, Temporal rest  PRIEST: Path to God, Reached through humble obedience, Is God, Empathizes, Sinless Sacrifice, Timeless  FAITH: Full Assurance In Triumphant Hope
  • 27. Real Deal Truth False Practices 1 Real Centre 1,2 Christ Religion 2 Real Rest 3-4:13 In Christ No rest 3 Real High Priest 4:14- 5:10, 6:20-8:6 Christ alone Sinful men 4 Real Maturity 5:11- 6:19 In Christ Deeds 5 Real Covenant 8:7- 9:18 In our hearts Law 6 Real Way to God 9:19-10:37 Through Christ Regular sacrifices 7 Real Faith 10:38-11 In Christ Works 8 Real Race 12:1-14 For Christ Rat race 9 Real Kingdom 12:14- 28 Christ’s Kingdom on earth and in heaven Human significance 10 Real Action 13 With Christ Privileged zone
  • 28. 1. In what ways do we as Christian believers still behave and think like the Jews? How can we change our mind set? 2. If Christ is truly centre what will be different in our lives? Why are we resisting it? 3. How can we achieve rest here and now? 4. Reflect on “real action is outside privileged zone”. What can you do to get into the “action zone”?
