Stirred, Not Shaken
As we read Hebrews 12:25-29, the writer of this letter (we call him St. Author), as we noted last week, is writing to a shrinking, struggling congregation in a hostile city and a pagan culture. He seeks to show them the "everythingness" of Jesus. Jesus is greater than their oppressive, God-hating culture. Jesus is superior to any ritual or rule. Jesus is seated on a throne because His work is full and final and complete and we need add NOTHING to it.
