Bible in a Year :  Judges 9–10; Luke 5:17–39

Insight  The New Testament letter to the Hebrews urges first-century readers to see the prophets, laws, and temple worship as a prelude to Someone far greater ( 1:1–4 ). According to the letter’s anonymous author, God’s own Son ( vv . 5–14 ) has suffered and “[tasted] death for everyone” ( 2:9 ) to provide a relationship with God that has replaced and made obsolete the law and covenant of Moses ( 3:1–6 ; 8:13 ). In layer after layer of detail, the letter describes how Jesus came to personify the Sabbath rest , high priest , sacrifice , and temple that foreshadowed Him .  For these reasons, the thirteen chapters of Hebrews urge readers not to give in to fears, distraction, or discouragement ( 3:8 ). The message is clear: don’t stop believing ( 10:19–11:40 ); don’t stop loving ( 10:24–25; 13:1–3 ); don’t stop following and relying on the Good and Great Shepherd ( 13:20 ) who gives us reason to believe that the best is yet ahead ( 9:28 ).

March 30: Taunting Death Numbers 33:50–34:29 ; 1 Corinthians 15:35–58 ; Psalm 29:1–11 My best friend’s mother, a dear family friend, died of Lou Gehrig’s disease (als). Over the span of three years, the disease attacked her nerve cells, starting with her hands and feet and moving inward to her vital organs. Every time I visited her, she would be changed—her cane became a wheelchair, and her warbled words were muffled into silence. Although she was fully alert, she slowly lost the ability to communicate her feelings and needs. In the end, only her eyes displayed the tumultuous feelings underneath. Those who confront the reality of death or the death of a loved one don’t doubt their own fallibility. They are closely acquainted with the reality that so many strangely disregard. And they cling to the hope of the resurrection that Paul eloquently relays, and that the Corinthians were slow to understand and believe: “We will all be changed, in a moment, in the blink of an eye, at th...
