Do you ever use those words? It sounds a little too formal for our day. “Let us go out for dinner.” “Let us go and play baseball.” “Let us go to work.” Those phrases all sound like we’ve been reading Shakespeare or like we’re asking for permission. In Hebrews 10, the words, “let us” are not found in the Greek language because they are implied in the tense of the verb so we add them in English. The structure of the verb not only reveals the intended action but it invites the reader to join the writer in the activity. The author was not ordering the reader to certain actions nor was he simply suggesting that he would do these things. In recognition of all the believer has in Christ, the writer includes himself in the invitation to three important practices. We’ll look at them in detail on Sunday but here they are. Let us 1) Draw near to God, 2) Hold fast to our faith and 3) Consider one another. That forms a basic outline not only of the paragraph but of the principal practices of the believer’s life. There’s a lot of complexity in the world today and some things are very hard to understand but this keeps it simple, let us develop our relationship with God, persevere and go to church! See you Sunday.
