Book Description
The author of Hebrews calls God 'Father' only twice in his sermon. This fact could account for scholarship's lack of attention to the familial dynamics that run throughout the letter. Peeler argues, however, that by having God articulate his identity as Father through speaking Israel's Scriptures at the very beginning and near the end of his sermon, the author sets a familial framework around his entire exhortation. The author enriches the picture of God's family by continually portraying Jesus as God's Son, the audience as God's many sons, the blessings God bestows as inheritance, and the trials God allows as pedagogy. The recurrence of the theme coalesces into a powerful ontological reality for the audience: because God is the Father of Jesus Christ, they too are the sons of God. But even more than the model of sonship, Jesus' relationship with his Father ensures that the children of God will endure the race of faith to a successful finish because they are an integral part of comprehensive inheritance promised by his Father and secured by his obedience. Because of the familial relationship between God and Jesus, the audience of Hebrews - God's children - can remain in the house of God forever.

My Son, If You Accept My Words
Author: Sondra Lee
Publisher: WestBow Press
ISBN: 197367517X
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 145
Book Description
Author Sondra Lee wrote this book to help her son, Tristan, to know what God wants for him in his life. She tenderly shares the importance of guarding one’s own heart so that while pursuing a young man’s dream, he will not find himself later in life like Solomon compromising the truths of God’s Word. As she began writing this book for him, the Lord burdened her heart for the many other young men in her son’s life. She has now made this book available for any young man, yet to be married, to read, study, and see the importance of seeking the Lord in every decision in their lives, both big and small. My Son, If You Accept My Words serves as a resource for young men in their study of God’s Word in order for them to see the practical application of His Word in their own life and, hopefully, to help equip them to make wise decisions for their future. Lee hopes that each chapter will be preceded by prayer for wisdom and discernment and that the Lord will use this book to open the hearts and eyes of our young men to their calling to be leaders, warriors, and servants. This collection of devotional writings offers young men a guide based in biblical wisdom and is intended to help them find more joy and faith on their life’s journey.
