Focus Passage: Hebrews 12:25-26
Read: Haggai 2:6-9; John 12:44-50
My high school shop teacher commanded and demanded respect. No student questioned or challenged his authority, at least not for long. One of the first things a freshman shop student would hear about was that he had a paddle that hung on the shop wall. It was made from 2” x 4” piece of wood with several one inch round holes drilled through it. As far as I know, he used it only once. He smashed it on a metal welding table, breaking it in two. Someone was acting up and he demanded to have their attention. No one refused to listen to Mr. Willie!
God commands a much greater amount of honor and authority. He warns us not to turn away from Him, His gospel, His gift, His son Jesus. How well do we listen and act upon that voice from heaven? We will not escape if we refuse.
1. What might cause a believer to refuse to listen to God?
2. Why do we find it easier to submit to and listen to a person of authority here on earth?
3. How are you doing in the area of hearing and obeying the voice of God?
