提要
我們情願再多讀希伯來書內與外兩處經文，而不對上述鑰節加上太多的評論和詮釋：
「我們既然有一位已經升入高天尊榮的大祭司，就是上帝的兒子耶穌，便當持定所承認的道。因我們的大祭司，並非不能體恤我們的軟弱；祂也曾凡事受試探，與我們一樣；只是祂沒有犯罪。所以我們只管坦然無懼的，來到施恩的寶座前，為要得憐恤，蒙恩惠，作隨時的幫助。」（4：14~16）
「我們既有這許多的見證人，如同雲彩圍著我們，就當放下各樣的重擔，脫去容易纏累我們的罪，存心忍耐，奔那擺在我們前頭的路程，仰望為我們信心創始成終的耶穌；祂因那擺在前面的喜樂，就輕看羞辱，忍受了十字架的苦難，便坐在上帝寶座的右邊。」（12：1，2）
我個人一己之見，認為上述三段經文極有效地將希伯來書的主要信息和中心思想勾劃出輪廓和綱要。多默想並研讀本卷書信；本卷書隨處充滿了乾糧，這將剛強、堅固信徒們。
研讀默想之時，謹記「人非有信，就不能得上帝的喜悅；因為到上帝面前來的人，必須信有上帝，且信祂賞賜那尋求祂的人。」（11：6）

| Key Verse: | "[God] has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the worlds; who being the brightness of His glory and the express image of His person, and upholding all things by the word of His power, when He had by Himself purged our sins, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, having become so much better than the angels, as He has by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they."（Hebrews 1:2-4） |
Overview
Instead of adding much comment to the above key verse(s), allow me to add two other passages from Hebrews:
"Seeing then that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need" (4:14-16).
"Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God" (12:1,2).
In my opinion, these three passages effectively summarize the essential message of the book of Hebrews. Spend time in this book. It's full of solid meat — it'll make you strong.
As you do, don't forget that "without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him" (11:6).

Prayer
Thank 'You, Father God, that You have spoken to us by Your Son. Help us to listen to Him more and more, meditating on His words in the Gospels and thinking deeply about the truths of Him we find in the book of Hebrews. |
