Jesus Christ fulfilled every aspect of Old Testament Law to be a complete savior. In the early church, some Christians from a Judean background did not fully understand this. So, the Epistle to Judean Christians was written to show from many Old Testament truths how Christ is God’s better and more fully completed solution than the Law of Moses.
This is the second in a five-part series that will reveal truths from this Epistle to the Hebrews.

After the healing miracle of the paralytic, Jesus travels out of the city to the sea side. Of course, the multitude follows him and he continues to teach them. In word and in deed, Jesus always shows the will of the Father.
After choosing twelve apostles, Jesus taught his disciples what they should do.
Luke 6:17:
And he came down with them, and stood in the plain, and the company of his disciples, and a great multitude of people out of all Judaea and Jerusalem, and from the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon, which came to hear him, and to be healed of their diseases.
When we were last with Jesus, he could no more openly enter into the city where a leper had been healed. Even though he stayed out in desert places, multitudes still came to him for healing and deliverance, so he had to withdraw even further into the wilderness. Let’s follow him from there to his regular dwelling place, the city of Capernaum.
Watching our one-year-old granddaughter as she begins walking and talking is so much fun. We are proud of her growth and enjoy being with her as she learns. But we don’t expect her to be at this same level of growth twenty years—or even one year—from now. What about spiritual growth? Just how mature can we become in the Body of Christ? We can grow up together!

In this month of February, when so much of the world is focused on romantic love, let’s learn from the Bible what God’s true love is all about.
After the marvelous outpouring of the Word of God in the Sermon on the Mount, the great power of God was energized to heal and deliver many. Again, we follow Jesus, this time to witness the healing of a leper in three of the gospel records. (The color of the words in the scripture indicates the information that is unique to that gospel: Matthew, Mark, and Luke. The words in boldface give information that is recorded in all three gospels.) Let’s go!
I was just sitting and enjoying the gas heater blowing on me, during this cold January morning in northern Idaho. It reminded me of my childhood winters in Missouri and our old oil heater that would keep me warm. In fact, I would leave my bed in those days to sit by a wall vent with my little robe over me as a tent. I also look forward to staying warm in future cold situations. Why? Because God takes care of me.
