The Biblical Illustrator - Hebrews 10:25

Hebrews 10:25Not forsaking the assemblingThe Church beneficent:We can scarcely help reading into a passage like this ideas which belong to our time, and not to the time of the writer; that is to say, ideas which are our own rather than his.Our notion as to Christians assembling themselves together is that which has been fixed in our minds by our custom, an old custom now, of attending church on Sundays. The truth is, however--and it is a point which has not received all the consideration to... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Hebrews 10:24

24 And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: Ver. 24. And let us consider ] Christians must study one another’s cases, the causes and cure of their spiritual distempers, solicitous of their welfare. To provoke unto love ] To whet on, as Deuteronomy 6:7 , to sharpen and extimulate, as Proverbs 27:17 , to rouse and raise up their dull spirits, as 2 Peter 2:13 , to set an edge on one another, as boars whet their tusks one against another, saith Nazianzen, ως υων... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Hebrews 10:25

25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is ; but exhorting one another : and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching. Ver. 25. Not forsaking ] Schism is the very cutting asunder of the very veins and arteries of the mystical body of Christ. We may not separate, but in case of intolerable persecution, heresy, idolatry, and Antichristianism. The assembling of ourselves together ] επισυναγωγη , in Church assemblies and Christian meetings, as ever... read more

Consider one another Realize each other’s value for mutual incitement unto love as a Christian affection, and good works as a Christian conduct. So far our author touches upon the mutual Christian aids between individuals. Every man may in personal intercourse encourage, inspire, and strengthen his fellow. Next verse specifies the collective aids. read more

Daniel Whedon

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 10:25

25. Assembling of yourselves together This plainly refers to voluntary meetings of Christians for mutual Christian inspiration and encouragement. Assuming, as we here do, that Jerusalem is the city to whose Christian people this epistle was addressed, not long before the destruction by Titus, we catch a brief glimpse of the interior of city and Church. The Greek word here, επισυναγωγη , episynagogue, can hardly be other than a Christian synagogue, Note, James 2:2. The assemblies remind... read more
