Discipleship Focus: Invitation
- Invitation: God is always inviting us into relationship with Him. He desires that we know Him and that we know His desire for us.
I love how
the author of Hebrews brings this passage all together. We’ve been building up to Christ as the high
priest. Here in this chapter the author
of Hebrews tells us that Christ and the grace that comes through Him is
superior to the covenant of the Law that was given through Moses.
Why can we
hear this claim? Christ was raised from
the dead. Christ is no longer here on
earth as a model of godly living. Christ
is in heaven at the right hand of the Father proving that He was God’s New
Covenant. He is superior because God
brought Him up to Heaven to be with Him as proof of His superiority.
So what does
this have to do with Invitation? God
invites us into this New Covenant. He
wants us to know grace. He wants us to
understand our sinfulness through the Law, but He wants us even more to know
that His grace is sufficient to overcome the judgment of the Law. He invites us to be a part of this new thing
that He is doing. Even though we don’t
deserve it, He wants us to come anyways.
