Why Would We Want To Settle for Less than the Best? Hebrews 1:1-4; 4:12-13 & 1:8

Scripture Reading Hebrews 1:1-4 (NIV) 1 In the past God spoke to our forefathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways, 2 but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom he made the universe. 3 The Son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven. 4 So he became as much superior to the angels as the name he has inherited is superior to theirs.

Point # 1 –We are more comfortable settling for a powerless religion than we are a relationship with a Holy God that might require something of us. Hebrews 1:1-2 (NIV) 1 In the past God spoke to our forefathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways 2 but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom he made the universe.

Point # 2 –We are more comfortable being entertained by a powerless message that brings no Holy Ghost conviction than we are a message that pierces our hearts and shakes up our lives. Hebrews 4:12-13 (NIV) 12 For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. 13 Nothing in all creation is hidden from God's sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account.

Point # 3 –We would rather give our heart and soul to a powerless god in the hope it might come through for us in a pinch rather than give our heart and soul to the Lord Jesus Christ. Hebrews 1:8 (NIV) 8 But about the Son he says, "Your throne, O God, will last for ever and ever, and righteousness will be the scepter of your kingdom.

Conclusion How am I robbing myself, my family, my church family if I am settling for less than Jesus Christ? The answer is real simple: you are not allowing yourself or others to see Jesus Christ in you and what He can do through you. And if I saw that in your life, it might just be enough to encourage me in my life.
