I used the illustration of a parabola early in this series on Hebrews, suggesting that it would chart Jesus' path. He came from on high to be born lowly as a babe and to die lonely on the cross. But God raised him from the dead and enthroned him in the heavens. Now, I've been told by some of my engineering friends that the arc of the parabola begins low and goes high and then returns low again. In God's New Order, Jesus is seated on the right hand of glory.
Easter is also a pressing invitation .
Jesus has abolished the one and established the other. If it is beyond your full understanding, that is to be expected. I can't say I understand it all either, for there is a great mystery behind this announcement. But that should not keep any of us from taking advantage of the offer. If understanding were needed in life's biggest choices, we would all still be waiting to make them.
