The Discipline of God
We continue our series “Jesus is Better,” a study of the letter to the Hebrews. This letter is actually a written sermon to believers who were struggling with their faith. They were being tempted to go back to a life without Jesus, a life rooted in the unfulfilled promises and pictures of the Old Testament. The writer of this letters seeks to show them in many ways that Jesus is better, not only better than what they had before, but better than everything. The writer invites us to consider the hardships we endure as discipline from the Lord. The point of discipline is not punishment, but rather training in righteousness. Part of God’s love for His children is to discipline them, including through hardship, for His purposes, His glory, and our good. But what does this mean as we face hardship in our lives today?
