Our readings in this series are from the book, Such a Great Salvation. Here is a brief excerpt from page 19:
“The writer of Hebrews urged his readers to move on from elementary principles. And not just a little: ‘let us go on to perfection.’
“Perfection is only found in Jesus Christ, which is why, in the book of Hebrews and elsewhere, so much emphasis is placed on seeing and considering Jesus. We are to learn Jesus, put on Jesus, be transformed into Jesus, think with the mind of Jesus, and to consider Him, both as our faithful High Priest and Ruler of His house, and as the Example of heroic, self-denying, joyful obedience to God. We do this so that we can run the full course of our lives, every course in every grade, acquiring all the knowledge and skills with which that solid food will fit us for our race, and realizing that we must never be satisfied, never think we have arrived, never believe we have exhausted the richness and power of the life of faith. And we must never, never, ever be content merely to lounge around the Christian kindergarten with other complacent believers, telling one another that this is as good as it gets, right?
“You will never know how great our salvation is until you determine to learn Jesus, grow in Jesus, be more like Jesus, and live for Jesus every day in every aspect of your life, even if it costs you to do so.“How great is your salvation?”
We always grow more when we are growing with others. Why not start your own reading group? Or find a friend who will read with you. You can order a copy of Such a Great Salvation, either in book form or as a free PDF, by going to The Ailbe Bookstore. And if you have not yet signed up to receive Read Moore on your desktop every Monday through Friday, then go to the home page of our website, www.ailbe.org, and scroll to the bottom to subscribe or to update your existing subscriptions. These are trying times, and we need a great salvation to make the most of the opportunities before us. I hope you’ll continue with us through this series.
T. M. Moore
