Yesterday

Hebrews 13:8-9 - Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. Do not be led away by diverse and strange teachings, for it is good for the heart to be strengthened by grace, not by foods, which have not benefited those devoted to them.


Hebrews 2:2-4 - For since the message declared by angels proved to be reliable, and every transgression or disobedience received a just retribution, how shall we escape if we neglect such a great salvation? It was declared at first by the Lord, and it was attested to us by those who heard, while God also bore witness by signs and wonders and various miracles and by gifts of the Holy Spirit distributed according to his will.

Hebrews 9:8-10 - By this the Holy Spirit indicates that the way into the holy places is not yet opened as long as the first section is still standing (which is symbolic for the present age). According to this arrangement, gifts and sacrifices are offered that cannot perfect the conscience of the worshiper, but deal only with food and drink and various washings, regulations for the body imposed until the time of reformation.

Application:

· Jesus Christ is eternally trustworthy as son of God as He was active in creation (yesterday), as He offers salvation (today) and as He will reign in heaven (forever).
· Jesus first announced this salvation. Those who heard assured and confirmed it.
· Strange teachings of old were done away with at the cross and must not be revived
· I have been reformed. Following the Mosaic law cannot clear my conscience. I need Christ.
