As we near the end of our summer series in the book of Hebrews, we come to the preacher’s points of application to his ancient congregation. Several in chapter 10 will be of particular interest to us, since like those ancient Christians we are sometimes also tempted to turn away from the promises of the gospel. The preacher is very direct with both his warnings and his encouragement, and it’s that plain talk that we need to hear today as we strive to follow Jesus as his faithful disciples.
