Greetings brothers.

Taste to share the message of "Our identity in Christ."

In the book of Hebrews 3: 1, the Lord tells us: "Therefore, holy brothers, participants in the heavenly call, consider the apostle and the high priest of our profession, Christ Jesus."

This verse is full of hope and security for the believer.

First, keep in mind that it is addressed to "holy brothers". This refers to anyone who has trusted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. The word holy means that believers have been separated for God. By virtue of the person you are in Christ, God loves you. Neither his professional career, nor his salary, nor his physical appearance, nor his nationality define him. Only your status as a son or daughter of God gives you the special identity that you now enjoy.

Since you are one of the "participants of the celestial flame", your final destination is heaven. His heart resides with Christ, where his heavenly home belongs. Knowing what your home means, you are no longer looking for the land, that temporary room, to satisfy you. No matter what happens around you, you can rejoice because this life does not sustain you, BUT GOD.

By knowing who you are in Christ, you can deny all the false messages of the world. Many times, Strident will try to convince you that you are not attractive enough to demand cultural beauty, or smart enough or successful enough. But only his identity in Christ completes it completely. You can not add anything to it, and the detractors of this world can not take anything away from it.

The final phrase of Hebrews 3: 1 reminds us that Jesus is our "Apostle" and "High Priest." The first title of the Lord Jesus is used to describe his relationship with God for us. When we want to know what God is like or how he would act in a certain situation, we look to Jesus. The second title means that Jesus represents us before God. God sees his children through the eyes of his holy and immaculate Son.

The command in this verse commands believers to "consider Jesus." The word to consider means "to perceive in the way of thinking" or "to be fully conscious" when observing the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, this is Jesus Christ, to meditate on his Word and imitate what we see in
The.

Let the security of your personal identity, your home and your Lord inspire you to explore new depths of God and serve Him with your heart. He will not disappoint you!
