Remain Faithful^ No Matter What Devotional Reading: Galatians 3: 6-14 Lesson Scripture: Hebrews 10: 19-31 Lesson Alms: To recognize the supremacy and sufficiency of Jesus, to become bold(er) in our faith, to endure together, and to understand that faith alone in Christ saves. Background: The first Sunday in September ushers in the new ® International Sunday School year. The four quarters promise to ignite our intellect, to warm our hearts, to deepen our commitment and to transform us into better representa tives of His love. “A Living Faith” is the theme for the Fall Quarter, the Scripture focus is Hebrews, I Corinthians 13 and Acts. The author of the book is unknown. For a little more than a 1,000 years, Paul was thought to have penned it. However, as early as the Second Century CE, “Origin and Tertullian, African Church fathers, questioned this notion suggesting that Barnabas, Apollos, or Priscilla wrote it (Zondervan’s Study Bible and Harper Collins Study Bible).” It is quite evident that the author was well acquainted with the Septuagint (Greek translation of the Old Testament) because of the many quotes used in the text. Hebrews begins more like a sermon but it ends like a letter. Written to Jewish converts, the book argues the absolute supremacy and suffi ciency of Jesus Christ and says that through faith alone, believers have direct access to God. Jewish Christians not only faced harsh treatment from the Romans, but Jewish authorities challenged them as well. The Jews felt that they were heretics (against correct doctrine) whose actions had to be limited. What kinds of actions did the authorities take? First, they used mob persecution that could result in near death. See Acts 7:54- 60 as an example. Only the Romans could impose the death penalty. Second, the converts could be flogged 39 times. Forty lashes was considered abuse (II Corinthians 11:24). The Jewish authorities See Peppers on B4
