Preparing ...

As I am preparing to preach from Hebrews, I am reading the commentary from Interpretation on that book. Of Hebrews 1:1-4, that author writes:

  • Hebrews is an evocative text that calls for the courage of living out the love-centered, God-centered life even in the midst of persecution;
  • It is a communal text where a community, not just a gathering of individuals, listens to hear God;
  • It is a dialogical text where all, including the preacher are in dialogue listening for God in their midst.

Such has gotten me to listen to Hebrews more attentively.
