Description

During today’s conversation on Back Porch Theology we’re going to hike into the beautiful New Testament landscape of Hebrews, a book that was probably originally preached as a sermon to a group of battle-weary believers who were seriously considering throwing in the proverbial towel because their faith journey was much more difficult than they had anticipated. As a result, their pastor – and the anonymous author of Hebrews - gathered them together for a much-needed come-to-Jesus meeting to remind them that once you’ve tasted intimacy with Him, nothing else will satisfy our hungry hearts. He enthuses that while King Jesus is the perfectly transcendent Son of God, He is also miraculously accessible. In other words, while our Savior is of the exact same divine substance as God the Father, He chose to be imminent. He chose to condescend from Glory and become an empathetic High Priest that people could reach out and touch instead of some faraway, ethereal entity. If your tail’s been dragging a bit lately because of difficulty at work, or dissention at home, or just plain old garden variety disappointment and dissatisfaction with the season of life you find yourself in, we believe today’s conversation will put some practical hope back in your tank. So please grab a cup of coffee and your Bible – unless you’re massaging your temples after gulping a Slurpee and getting a brain freeze, of course – and come hang out on the porch with Alli, Dr. Howard and me.
