Bible Note: Hebrews 13:7 Remember them which have the rule over you, who have spoken unto you the word of God: whose faith follow, considering the end of their conversation. Jamieson, Fausset and Brown Commentary explains pertaining to “of their conversation”: “Considering how they manifested the soundness of their faith by their holy walk, which they maintained even to the end of that walk…” I think our leaders, those we submit to, are identifiable by their manner of life, their walk with God. Verse 7 may be speaking of past leaders but Hebrews 13:17 seems to indicate the same for our present leaders. We can use the same criteria from past to present. One would think we would have to be more discerning with present leaders however, as we don’t have their “end” to help us with our assessment but only their current affairs. WOS |
