Are You Tethered to an Anchor?

Monday of the 2nd Sunday after Easter – Hebrews 6:1-12

Last updated on: April 19, 2015 at 10:08 pm   By Fr. Charles Erlandson

Hebrews 6:1-12 Once again, the writer of Hebrews gives us a terrible warning about the ultimate sin of apostasy, or turning from God, having once been enlightened.  Lest we become too snug and smug in our faith, we must remember the real possibility of our falling away from God.  This is not a merely hypothetical possibility: it is the real-life tragedy of countless Christians. And you are not exempt from this possibility. But the writer of Hebrews is confident of... Read more

Saturday of 1st Sunday after Easter – Hebrews 4:14-5:14

Last updated on: April 17, 2015 at 10:56 pm   By Fr. Charles Erlandson

Hebrews 4:14-5:14 Do you remember the vision of Jesus Christ that St. John had in Revelation 1?  I want that image to be seared into your memory forever.  Maybe we should all go out and stare at the sun for a few seconds to remind us of who Jesus really is.  He is not the baby-faced, Bearded Girly Man Christ of Victorian pictures: He is the visible glory of God the Father.  He is the retina-dissolving sun! “And there is... Read more

Friday of 1st Sunday after Easter – Hebrews 4:1-13

Last updated on: April 16, 2015 at 6:51 pm   By Fr. Charles Erlandson

Hebrews 4:1-13 Having chronic fatigue, rest is one thing I can definitely relate to.  It makes me tired just to think about it.  And yet what a heavenly concept! Unfortunately, we are a culture and a people who can find no rest. Despite having more leisure than most people have had and despite having labor-saving devices, our lives are ones of constant activity.  But unlike God, we can’t always find rest by being able to say what we have done... Read more

How to Obey

Last updated on: April 25, 2018 at 3:25 pm   By Fr. Charles Erlandson

How to Obey – Hebrews 3 Good day, partakers of Jesus Christ!  Partakers, that is, if you hold the beginning of your confidence steadfast to the end and if you do not depart from the living God.  But I am persuaded of better things for you. God has called you to be a partaker of Jesus Christ.  If you partook of the Holy Communion recently, then you were a partaker of Jesus Christ at that time.  But that’s not the... Read more

Wednesday of 1st Sunday after Easter – Hebrews 2:9-18

Last updated on: April 14, 2015 at 9:29 pm   By Fr. Charles Erlandson

Hebrews 2:9-18 Jesus Christ, the God-man, is a mystery, but thankfully a mystery that God Himself has revealed to us.  The God who made Himself man for us continues to amaze and mystify us.  More important, He continues to save us! In Chapter 1, the writer of Hebrews composed a superb description of the supremacy and glory of Christ, who is the brightness of God’s glory – because He is God Himself.  As with John’s illumination of Christ in the... Read more
