This week we continue with week 5 of our sermon series “JESUS is GREATER” and our study through the book of Hebrews. As we near the end of chapter 4 we slow down and zoom in on a somewhat familiar passage.
Hebrews 4:11-13
"Let us therefore strive to enter that rest, so that no one may fall by the same sort of disobedience. For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of sprit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart. And no creature is hidden from his sight, but all are naked and exposed to the eyes of him to whom we must give account.”
Paul refers to God’s word as the “Sword of the Spirit” in Ephesians 6:17... Take up the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God,”
Here in Hebrews 4 we are given a powerful picture of what that sword can do!
