Holy Brethren

Hebrews 3:1. NASB 1995.
1 Therefore, holy brethren, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider Jesus, the Apostle and High Priest of our confession;
Holy - set apart, saints, “set-apart ones.”

Brethren - the children of God the Father, the brothers and sisters of Jesus, the body of Christ, a family united by the Holy Spirit.

As I was reading Hebrews 3, this phrase really struck me. I have let “the Word dwell in my richly” the last couple of days, letting the Lord turn it over in my mind, speaking to me about through the day.

I’ve spent some time thinking about my brothers and sisters in the Lord. Praying for them as the Lord leads. Reminding myself that they are “holy brethren.”
