Hebrews 4

Verse 12 is an often quoted passage of the power of Scripture (word of God – Jesus is the Word of God as well.) The power of Scripture is that, in the end, it wins out. No matter what we feel or think, God's will is done.

 

Any time you see a "therefore" in the New Testament, pay attention. The author is tipping you off to an important point. Chapter 4 ends with Jesus being the true High Priest" (not the high priest of the Temple.) Now (remember these are Jews who may be thinking of abandoning Christianity,) you have a High Priest who knows what it is like to be human (in other words "it's doable!") AND a High Priest who has the power (and ability to forgive) of God. What a combo! Jesus will help.
