And in order, in part, to mitigate that, and also because I want to deal with the broad sweep of things, we’re going to proceed at a fairly swift clip.

I wished frequently that the Hebrews had kept the Epistle to themselves, for it sadly bored a poor Gentile lad.” Now, I recognize that there may well be others who will feel that way fairly quickly.

I keep in mind the words of Spurgeon in the early biography of Spurgeon, My Early Years, where he recounts there, and I quote him: “I have a very lively, or rather … deadly, recollection of a certain series of discourses on the Hebrews, which made a deep impression on my mind of the most undesirable kind. But for now, I want it to be the latter rather than the former. Maybe there will be a day, if God spares us, when we can return and survey the book at a greater sense of detail-if you like, microscopically rather than telescopically. But I don’t want to do that in this particular series on Hebrews. You know, certainly, that we’re well capable of the “snail’s pace” approach. It’s not inconceivable that we could never have gone beyond the first verse of the first chapter last Sunday. It’s very possible for us to spend a tremendously long time studying the book of Hebrews. And that will give you some idea as to how we plan to proceed. And for those of you who were present last time, you will perhaps recall the pace with which we proceeded through the first chapter in considering it in the morning and then again in the evening. I invite you to take your Bibles and turn once again to Hebrews chapter 2.
