Reflexion, A Spiritual Community
Hebrews 6
Show Notes

We left off last week with the writer complaining (or scolding)
He had much more to say about Jesus in his role of a priest,
     - but it would be too difficult to explain it all to them
         • they had become lazy listeners
             ◦ as a result, they were not ready to go further or deeper
         • but the truth is, the writer must have believed they were ready,
             ◦ because after this chapter he continues with his previous subject
             ◦ the one that he said would be "hard to explain"
     - experienced public speakers can see what the writer is doing
         • he wants to make sure he has their attention
             ◦ so he shocks them
             ◦ and he does this with what William Barclay described as
               “one of the most terrible passages in scripture.”
