LETTERS ON HEBREWS NO. 2

I see three steps in the Hebrews:

First. The sympathy of the Lord in my weakness or infirmity. There are three classes of infirmities. The first circumstances — or pressure of any kind from them — too poor at one time, and too rich at another; when I am set for heaven He helps me out of the infirmity, lifts me above it.

The second is weakness of the body.

The third — bereavement, sorrow. Now being helped out of the infirmity, I am occupied with His side. I am in company with Him, and as I am, I come forth in a new way. I am encountering and surmounting every obstacle between me and heaven; and this is the race. It is then strength through faith. I may begin every day with an infirmity, but I ought to go on to strength. I ought to surmount difficulties. By my God I have leaped over a wall.
