Witness for the Execution

Summary

We witness the execution by embracing a life of sacrificial service. Hebrews speaks of a ministry of encouragement and mutual support (10:24-25), one that involves meeting together, provoking one another to love and good deeds, and acting as a passionate community of faith. The cross is powerfully provocative as it calls us forth and stimulates us to love one another, to do good, to speak truth to power, to stand for the oppressed, to feed the hungry and clothe the naked, and to be the Body of Christ at work in the world.
