During today’s conversation on Back Porch Theology we’re continuing our trek through the lush theological landscape of Hebrews, that awesome New Testament treatise that highlights the glorious juxtaposition of the supremacy and accessibility of King Jesus! If you listened to last week’s episode, you probably remember that Hebrews was likely preached as a sermon before it was recorded as a book. And the original audience was a group of beleaguered Jewish Christians who were getting pummeled literally and figuratively in their ancient polytheistic culture. Which led them to consider apostacy – which means, they were seriously considering jettisoning the “Jesus” aspect of their belief system and just going back to the “Jehovah” part to try to stem the tide of abuse that was being afflicted on them. Which is why their pastor patiently explains what a massive mistake turning their back on the Messiah would be, how once you’ve experienced the unconditional love of Jesus, nothing – no spiritual leader, religious icon, or church tradition – can satisfy your soul. He uses contrast, and seven specific affirmations describing Jesus’s purpose and personhood, to prove that He is infinitely better than all the rest! Today is jam-packed with practical encouragement y’all, so please grab a cup of coffee, a yummy snack, and that divine love story we call the Bible – unless you’re shelling peas with your mama, of course – and come hang out on the porch with us.  Follow Us On Instagram! @BackPorchTheologyPodcast @LisaDHarper @AllisonAllen @Jim.Howard.Co  Learn more about Convoy of Hope’s Women’s Empowerment program at Convoy.org/LisaHarper.    SAVE 20% by using code Lisa20 at ElevatedFaith.com
