Hebrews 2 opens with an exhortation to "pay more careful attention to what we have heard."
What is it that we have heard?
The writer says it is the message of a great salvation! That great salvation is found through trust in the person and work of Jesus.
The author has full confidence in the saving power of the message. He knows it can safely steer the ship of our wandering souls if we do not ignore it or neglect it. That message is contained in the progressive revelation of God in the Bible.

Our culture has developed the "cult of busyness." We do not like to linger over a book and meditate on it day and night (Psalm 119). It seems like a waste of time rather than a corrective for our misuse of time.
