Be Well

Once a year, Bill and I both see our medical doctor for an overall general examination - a yearly physical.  It is the responsible thing to do. When Christians can't see it, feel it, touch it, the general conclusion is that it doesn't exist, which leads to oblivion of the spiritual world!  How absurd!  Scripture presents this probing question: "How shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation?" (Hebrews 2:3).  This greater salvation, announced by Christ, came with great retribution so the writer of Hebrews presses us to consider the consequences of showing no concern for its neglect!  Of course, those who simply reject salvation must consider the terms of rejection but what about those who embrace salvation yet neglect their spiritual health – how will we escape?  Yes, I know well that road "paved with good intentions!"  Let us be challenged to good spiritual health this year, and be sure we don't neglect to "grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ." (2 Peter 3:18).   May our well-being be well indeed.
