Hebrews 12:25-29
(Lesson 19)

Introduction:
 

         1. The 3rd section of Hebrews (ch.11-13) emphasizes "the superiority of the Christian faith."
             a. (ch.11) Faith is explained and illustrated.
             b. (ch.12) God's people are exhorted to persevere by:
                 1) running the race with "patience" (vs.1-3)
                 2) enduring God's chastening (vs.4-13)
                 3) following various instructions that relate to "perseverance" (vs.14-17), including:
                     a) pursuing peace and holiness (vs.14)
                     b) not coming short of God's grace (vs.15a)
                     c) not being troubled and defiled by any root of bitterness (vs.15b)
                     d) not being like Esau (vs.16-17)
                     e) approaching Mount Zion that is superior to Mount Sinai (vs.18-24).
         2. (vs.25-29) The Lord's people must not refuse Him who speaks.

Discussion:


I.           (vs.25a) "SEE  THAT  YE  REFUSE  NOT  HIM  THAT  SPEAKETH"


         A. At one time God spoke through Moses, but today He speaks through Christ.
         B. We learn from Hebrews 3:1-6 that Moses was great, but Christ is far greater.
         C. Since Christ is so much greater than Moses we must not refuse Him (Colossians 3:16-17).

II.          (vs.25b) THERE  IS  NO  ESCAPE  FOR  THOSE  WHO  REFUSE  HIM  (2:1-4; John 12:48)


III.         (vs.26) ONE  DAY  GOD  WILL  SPEAK  AGAIN


         A. When He spoke before, the earth shook.
         B. When He speaks again, the earth and heaven will shake.
         C. The Lord's voice will be heard when He returns (John 5:28-29; 1 Thessalonians 4:14-17).

IV.         (vs.27) WHEN  GOD  SPEAKS  AGAIN  THOSE  THINGS  THAT  CANNOT  BE  SHAKEN  WILL
             REMAIN  WHILE  OTHERS  WILL  BE  REMOVED  (2 Peter 3:3-10)


V.          (vs.28) ONE  THING  THAT  CANNOT  BE  MOVED  IS  GOD'S  KINGDOM


         A. Christians are part of God's kingdom (Colossians 1:13).
         B. Since God's kingdom is everlasting, those who are in it should be motivated to "serve God acceptably
             with reverence and godly fear"
(see 2 Peter 3:11-14).

VI.         (vs.29) GOD  WILL  CONSUME  THOSE  WHO  FAIL  TO  SERVE  HIM  FAITHFULLY  (10:26-31)
