The writer of Hebrews deepens my faith, opens up issues that I gloss over, especially the importance of Jesus’ life and death. It is mind blowing that the Creator of the universe would humble Himself and become the created, lowering Himself to all that we experience. Because of His life and death, He experiences every form of temptation that we do, suffered extreme pain and torture. He allowed Himself to be executed, paying the penalty of our rebellion in sin.
Reading Proverbs reminds me how we get so hooked into the trivial gossip of the day, rather than focus on the reality of who Jesus is in our here and now moments. Gossip and turmoil are symptoms of the chaos in Obadiah’s day and the turmoil in our culture.
