The Mercy of Exhortation
In the grand scope of scripture, the writer of Hebrews commands us to exhort or encourage one another. We see this call to encourage as not a gentle suggestion but a guardrail to keep us from deception. The truth is encouragement keeps us and protects us. It is one of the means by which God pursues us. Using Hebrews 3 and Exodus 17 as a guide, we will embark on a journey over the next six days to understand the means, gifts, and lessons of extolling one another.
