Read: Hebrews 10:19-25
After trying on my new sunglasses in the car one day, my daughter handed them back and said, These are not sunglasses, Mom. Theyre just fashion lenses. Let me guess, she teased, you bought them because you look cute in them.
Okay, I have to admitmy daughter knows me. I hadnt given a passing thought to UV rays or even whether those glasses would actually block the sun. I just really liked the way they looked on me.
Most of us like to look good. We want to appear that we have it all togetherwith no struggles or fears or temptations or heartaches.
Trying to maintain a façade of perfection on our spiritual journey doesnt help us or our fellow travelers. But sharing our lives with others in the body of Christ benefits us as well as others. When we are a bit more transparent, we may find people who are struggling in a similar situation. And as we enjoy a growing fellowship with God and become more aware of our own brokenness and inadequacy, God is able to use us more fully to help others.
Lets allow God to strip away any pretense and let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds (Heb. 10:24 niv).
Wearing a mask that shows everythings fine
Says that lifes struggles are not Gods design;
But when were open, transparent, and true,
People will trust God to meet their needs too. Sper
Believers stand strong when they dont stand alone.
One of the great ongoing debates among Bible scholars involves the authorship of the letter to the Hebrews. In the early days of the church, it was generally regarded to have been written by the apostle Paul, but scholars disagree about its authorship today. Along with stylistic elements of the content that these scholars say does not match the writings of Paul, one often-cited argument against Pauline authorship is that Hebrews is anonymous, and Paul declared that he always signed his letters (2 Thess. 3:17). Some of the names offered as the possible human author of this inspired letter include Luke, Apollos, Barnabas, and Priscilla.
