#29 - 1 Timothy 4 through Hebrews 9

"Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from the will of your Father in heaven. And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So don't be afraid; you are worth more than sparrows." Matthew 10:29-31


All the letters written below were by Paul, excepting Hebrews. My Life Application Study Bible indicates the author could be Paul, Luke, Barnabas, Apollos, Silas, Philip, Priscilla and others. The author was not recorded. Whoever wrote this text speaks of Timothy as "brother" (13:23). The Good News Bible does not venture to state the name of the author of Hebrews; simply referring to the author as "the writer."

Wednesday - 1 Timothy, chapters 4 - 6;
Thursday - 2 Timothy, chapters 1 - 4;
Friday - Titus, chapters 1 - 3;
Saturday - Philemon, chapters 1 - 3;
Sunday - Hebrews, chapters 1 - 3;
Monday - Hebrews, chapters 4 - 6;
Tuesday, Hebrews, chapters 7 - 9.

Perhaps you could discern the concern of the writer of Hebrews. The letter "was written to a group of Christians who, faced with increasing opposition, were in danger of abandoning the Christian faith*." Can you note instances where the writer was encouraging the people in their faith and in the truths upon which they could stand? Are these yet applicable to you and me as Christians today?

God's Blessings as you read again this week.
