7 MAY 2018 -Hebrews 10:36 (NIV)

Scripture

 36 You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised.

Reflection

This bit of advice comes wrapped up in a larger paragraph, 10:32-39. The people who were receiving this letter had been persecuted for their faith in Jesus. They had their goods stolen, and had come under suspicion and become unpopular because they were Christians. At first they stood strong against the persecution and they had stood together. However, as time went on, they were beginning to drift away. The writer makes an appeal which could apply to any of us, “Be what you were when you were at your best” (Barclay)  (Ps. Dale).
