Therefore we must pay much closer attention to what we have heard, lest we drift away from it. 2 For since the message declared by angels proved to be reliable, and every transgression or disobedience received a just retribution, 3 how shall we escape if we neglect such a great salvation? It was declared at first by the Lord, and it was attested to us by those who heard, 4 while God also bore witness by signs and wonders and various miracles and by gifts of the Holy Spirit distributed according to his will. (Hebrews 2)
We live in an age of neglect: people neglect their health; they neglect heeding the traffic laws, they neglect their children; they neglect their responsibilities; they neglect relationships. Many choose to neglect Christ and the great salvation He offers. God's Good News has been heralded by so many so many times in so many ways, yet it goes unanswered. Pay closer attention. Listen. Really listen. Look to Jesus. See and hear what God is saying: "I want you that much. You need Me that much. Please stop neglecting our relationship."
