When Hezekiah showed the Babylonian envoys “all that was in his house,” he thought he was showing his strength. In reality, all he proved was how naive he was to think that same action wouldn’t come back to bite him.
Yet we don’t need storehouses to do the same, do we? That’s what social media is for! But where’s the line between us sharing our excitement for something and it coming off as pride — the very thing that Hezekiah was guilty of?
Unfortunately, only you know that line, but maybe Hezekiah’s story can help us figure it out.

CloseThe book of Hebrews is dense, technical, and in some cases, difficult to understand. But that doesn't mean it isn't important. For an audience that is trying to make the leap from Judaism to Christianity, what they needed more than anything else was conviction. They needed to know -- beyond a shadow of a doubt -- that what they were following was true. The alternative is half-hearted belief, which almost always wilts away in the face of persecution.
