Hebrews 3:1 (KJV) Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus;
Wherefore,(Why, for what reason)
holy brethren, partakers (One who has or takes a part, share or portion in common with others) the heavenly calling, consider (To fix the mind on, with a view to a careful examination)
the (This adjective is used as a definitive, that is, before nouns which are specific or understood) (The) Apostle and (The) High Priest of our (Pertaining or belonging to us) profession, Christ Jesus;
Here’s the reason brethren, you that have taken part with others in the heavenly calling, fix your mind on and view carefully the Apostle, the High Priest Jesus Christ.
Wow, bless the Name of Jesus, we are not by ourselves in this heavenly calling. Jesus came into this world, to call all that would put their trust in Him as their savior. We read that over and over.
John 3:16 (KJV) For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. That whosoever (anyone, any person) yes you too..
Luke 19:10 (KJV) For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost. Oh yes He is looking for you lost in this world on this day at this time. He may come to you by way of another person, who may at first seem odd to you. Asking questions like where do you go to church? If you were to die today do you know where you will go or spend eternity? You know strange questions that you don’t really have an answer to. Oh I know you’ll say something. Maybe like I go to such and such church. To which that person may ask, "Who is the pastor there now?” to which you have no clue. Spend, eternity where??? Can anyone really know that, you might think. Sure you can, that strange person says 1 John 5:13 (KJV) These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.
Just one qualification. “believe on the name of the Son of God” You might leave that strange person, seeming strange to others also! Why?
Luke 1:1 (KJV) Forasmuch as many have taken in hand to set forth in order a declaration of those things which are most surely believed among us, I know you don’t want to miss Heaven by something as simple as putting your trust in Jesus Christ the Apostle and the High Priest. How would you feel if some strange looking person came to you and gave you these numbers 8-27-34-4-19-powerball 10 and said play these and win the lotto that is worth 1.5 billion dollars. Let's say you wrote him off as some kind of idiot. Only to wake up the next morning to find that the winning numbers were just what he gave you. How would you feel the rest of your life? Well, miss Jesus and you will feel much worse all through eternity. Think about that! Oh by the way, on January 13, 2016 those were the winning numbers for 1.5 billion. So if that strange looking person had come to you and said “play these numbers 8-27-34-4-19-powerball 10 and you’ll win 1.5 billion. Now if a strange looking person comes to you and says to you except Jesus and you do you’ll get way more than 1.5 billion.
