Hebrews 10:34
Compare all
32 But arecall the former days in which, after you were1 illuminated, you endured a great struggle with sufferings:  
33 partly while you were made aa spectacle both by reproaches and tribulations, and partly while byou became companions of those who were so treated;  
34 for you had compassion on1 me ain my chains, and bjoyfully accepted the plundering of your2 goods, knowing that cyou have a better and an enduring possession for yourselves3 in heaven.  
35 Therefore do not cast away your confidence, awhich has great reward.  
36 aFor you have need of endurance, so that after you have done the will of God, byou may receive the promise: 
37 “For ayet a little while,
And bHe who is coming will come and will not2 tarry.

What Does Hebrews 10:34 Mean?



Hebrews 10:33-35

In the past these people had been deeply convicted, but because they were not doing the things necessary for maintaining and building a relationship with God, they lost what they had. Part of the reason Hebrews is in the Bible is to remind Christians what can happen to someone who does not maintain his part of the relationship.

Hebrews 10:34

Our joy through trials is a result of suffering for Christ's sake. Of the persecution we must endure, Jesus says, "Rejoice in that day and leap for joy!" (Luke 6:23). Through the Holy Spirit, God gives us His gift of joy as part of the process of spiritual completion.

Hebrews 10:34-35

We should add to this their deferred expectation of the return of Jesus Christ and the establishment of the Kingdom of God. In them were high expectations of Christ's return, and conversely, the ever-diminishing hope that He would come in their lifetimes, combined with the difficulties of Christian life.

Does this apply to us today? Could we, too, feel that the return of Jesus Christ may be farther off and be beginning to have somewhat the same attitude as these people did?
