Dear Friend,
I have recently, for a variety of reasons, been thinking about the seventh verse of Hebrews chapter 13, which reads, “Remember your leaders, those who spoke to you the word of God. Consider the outcome of their way of life, and imitate their faith.” A couple chapters earlier, the writer gives a list of the names of “people of old” who “received their commendation” (11:2) because they lived trusting in God’s Word and promises. They serve as a “great cloud of witnesses” so as to encourage us to keep on looking to Jesus.

When we look at the life of Jesus, we may wonder at the great variety of ways in which He interacted with others. He conversed with them. He broke bread with them. He confronted them. He healed them. He even attended parties with them. In fact, it is a testament to Jesus’ very humanity that His comings and goings among everyday people seem, in both their breadth and their depth, to so closely resemble our own.

The well-known book The Pilgrim’s Progress written by Puritan writer John Bunyan as an allegory of the Christian life has been adapted and simplified for young children. Little Pilgrim’s Big Journey is a colorful picture book that retells the story of the main character, Christian, as he makes his journey from the City of Destruction to the Celestial City. Little Pilgrim visits many of the same places as Christian in the original story, including the Bog of Despair, Vanity Fair, and Doubting Castle, to name a few. He also encounters many of the same characters and diversions.

“Let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.” — Matthew 5:16

In Luke 7, we read that when John the Baptist was in prison, he sent word to Jesus through his disciples, asking, “Are you the one who is to come, or shall we look for another?” (Luke 7:19, 20). His question is a surprising one. After all, this is the same man who, John tells us, had earlier seen Jesus and declared, “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!” (John 1:29). Now, sitting in prison, he seems to have his doubts. Why?

Ephesians 6:10–11 “Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil.”

“Pain does not break the calm of the sweet twilight of age, for strength is made perfect in weakness and endures it all patiently.” — C.H. Spurgeon

After spending roughly half his account of Jesus describing the first three years of His ministry, the Gospel writer John turns his attention, from chapter 13 onward, to the most important week of our Lord’s life: the week leading up to His crucifixion.

We all worship something. Despite the unbelief some confess, the truth is that people don’t want to have no god—although they often desire to have a “god” that makes them comfortable, allows them to believe whatever they think is best, and whose opinions about how they ought to live align with their own.

“The Lord Jesus Christ who must be forever dear to us, for through Him we are made to sit in heavenly places far above principalities and powers.” — C.H. Spurgeon
