Heb 13:8  "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever." 
He is Absolute Love, immutable, unchanging, constant, consistent. 


Heb 7:25  "Consequently, he is able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God through him, since he always lives to make intercession for them." 

Joh 14:6  "Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."

All is through Him! Employ His strength to offer up praise to God, you must come as one who is in need!

Heb 13:15  "Through him then let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips that acknowledge his name." 


Sharing what you have with a generous spirit, reflects God's nature as the ultimate gift and giver. This is the way to sacrifice, not by coming to God to earn His favor but by giving to others as a demonstration of God's character.


Heb 13:16  "Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God." 
If you obey what you know is right and good, don't act like it is a burden to be obedient. That's not really obedience, now is it?
Heb 13:17  "Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they are keeping watch over your souls, as those who will have to give an account. Let them do this with joy and not with groaning, for that would be of no advantage to you." 


Prayer makes a difference, in attitude and action. Please remember us in those prayers.


Heb 13:18,19  "Pray for us, for we are sure that we have a clear conscience, desiring to act honorably in all things. I urge you the more earnestly to do this in order that I may be restored to you the sooner." 


I want you to pray the same way I would pay for you, that you would know Jesus, that in knowing Him you would know His will for you and that in knowing His will you would be filled with grace in obeying. 


Heb 13:20-25  "Now may the God of peace who brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, the great shepherd of the sheep, by the blood of the eternal covenant, equip you with everything good that you may do his will, working in us that which is pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen. "I appeal to you, brothers, bear with my word of exhortation, for I have written to you briefly. You should know that our brother Timothy has been released, with whom I shall see you if he comes soon. Greet all your leaders and all the saints. Those who come from Italy send you greetings.  Grace be with all of you."
