My mind has been blown!

SO, whenever i decided to study through Hebrews, I really didn't know why the Lord had pushed me in that direction. I mean honestly I knew like one verse by heart out of Hebrews...maybe! i know a lot of verses, but Hebrews seemed like such a random book to study. But, I listened and here I am and my mind has been blown tonight. It's about my third day of studying Hebrews and I've really been focusing on chapters 1 and 2. Warren Wiersbe is an absolute genius and his commentary-like I've said in previous posts-is wonderful. Throughout the past spring semester at school I've had so much trouble staying consistent in my relationship with the Lord. Either school got in the way or work or just plain busy life and I was completely drifting away when I knew the Lord should be first EVERYDAY. So, as I was reading my commentary tonight Wiersbe pointed out several statements that convicted me and I just kept thinking, "oh my goodness, that's what I was going through. this is exactly what happened to me." and I just kept saying, "this makes so much sense now! thanks Lord. this is awesome. i get it." It wasn't until tonight that I truly understood why the Lord has me studying Hebrews. And there may be other reasons also, but I think a lot of it is to teach me. Warren Wiersbe mentions 5 exhortations in Hebrews and they are 1. drifting from the word. 2. doubting the word 3. dullness toward the word. 4. despising the word. 5. defying the word. ~all of these things completely meant for people who are truly born again, but if we get away from the word these are the effects. He also mentions that Hebrews is a book of Examination. We've got to make sure that we have our feet on a solid foundation of faith. One of the quotes that Wiersbe uses that he says he thinks is the key message of Hebrews is: "You can be secure while everything around you is falling apart." (b/c God's word is steadfast :] ) It's also a book of Expectation. He talks about living for the permanent and things that are eternal instead of living for the immediate and things that are going to pass away. He gives the example of Abraham and Lot. Lastly, he says it is a book of Exaltation. When you first start to read Hebrews it immediately describes Christ as high and holy and the entire book keeps this theme. This was to prove that He was higher than the prophets, which were the men that were held in highest ranking to the Jews (since this book was written to Jewish Christians). I like when Warren Wiersbe explains how Jesus Christ and God are one. He uses this illustration: Jesus Christ is to the Father what the rays of the sun are to the sun. He is the radiance of God's glory. You can't separate the sun's rays from the sun just like you can't separate Christ's glory from the nature of God.
All of the previous posts including this one have all stemmed from Hebrews 1:1-3. Yes, only three verses. If all of this came out of 3 verses, I'm extremely excited to see what the Lord has in store for the next few chapters. Starting tomorrow I'll be concentrating on Hebrews 1:4-2:18 :)
