Eschatological tension is described in Hebrews 10:14 which states, “For by one offering He has perfected for all time those who are sanctified.” If a sacrifice has been offered once and for all and we are still be sanctified, we are still on a journey to a fixed end. This is the notion of the pilgrimage. Hebrews 10:22 states, “... let us draw near with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.” Hebrew talks about purity and justice. There is concern for the disadvantaged and for moral and covenantal order, that is, for religious purity. The community that knows atonement begins to be sanctified. Note that “cleanliness” is linked here with social justice. There is a logic and not just a thoughtless spontaneity to service. How do you call people to service when there is a probability they will suffer for it? The believers knew they had a better possession and an abiding one. Hebrews 10:32 states, “But remember the former days, when, after being enlightened, you endured a great conflict of sufferings.” Hebrews 10:35 states, “Therefore, do not throw away your confidence, which has a great reward.” The Christians were known for this and encouraged to keep at it. Hebrews 10:24-25 describes the reality of real community. There is a social responsibility for the sustenance of faith. Notice that individual responsibility is paired with communal contexts for obedience. Hebrews calls the people to take responsibility for each other. Hebrews calls us to continue in our faith and trust in God. Consider an introduction on John Webster’s sermon, The Nature of Faith.
