Pentecost 21 2024

Don’t you just love warning labels? Some seem so obvious that it is surprising and humorous that they are even needed. For example, how about the warning label on a hairdryer, “Don’t use in the shower.” Or consider the one on an aerosol can, “Caution: Don’t spray in your eyes.” And then there is this one on a portable stroller, “Caution: Remove infant before folding for storage.” This morning, we will consider a warning label contained in the Epistle Reading from Hebrews. I’m thinking in today’s world this one is needed and may not be so obvious.
