Hebrews

So, again I am breaking my "no two blogs in one day" rule because I am considering it the next day, since I slept between them:)
Last night, during some excellent conversation with B for boy he was kind enough to ask me what my favorite books of the bible were. This was kind because he isn't a Christian and because when it comes to Jesus, I can be long winded. What can I say? He fucking died in my place, if you believed this maybe you would be long winded about him too. Man, Jesus, what a good guy. He was so controversial, he changed the course of history. Even if you don't believe that he came to the earth to die for the sins of humanity in the embarressing form of human, you still have to respect many of his teachings if you have ever read any of the gospels. Anyway, I went off about how much I loved different books for different reasons, but one book I brought up, Hebrews, I realized I really havent delved into in a long time. That made me start thinking about how difficult it is for me to really get into the bible sometimes and how blogs kind of keep me accountable to myself, so I have og decided to do short (hopefully) study of hebrews on my blog. I will still post about other things when necessary but I would really like to focus on this revoloutionary book. I think that these verses kind of summarize what I would like to understand and feel deeper through this study.
Hebrews 4: 10-16 NLT
For all who enter into God's rest will find rest from their labors, just as God rested after creating the world. Let us do our best to enter that place of rest. For anyone who disobeys God, as the peoploe of Israel did, will fall. For the word of GOd is full of living power. It is sharper than the sharpest knife, cutting deep into our innermost thoughts and desires. It exposes us for what we really are. Nothing in all creation can hide from him. Everything is naked and exposed before his eyes. This is the God to whom we must explain all that we have done. That is why we have a great Hight Preist who has gone to heaven, Jesus the Son of GOd. Let us cling to him and never stop trusting him. This High Priest understands our weaknesses, for he has faced all of the same tempations we do, yet he did not sin. So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will recieve his mercy and we will find grace to help us when we need it.


That is what I want from this study. I want to...
1. Understand better the power of the word of God
2. Understand the sacrifices of Christ more fully
3. Learn to trust in his perfection more. Learn to trust his power in my weakness.


Ok, well, we will see how this goes.
