Gen Z: Hebrews 12
1So, since we got a whole squad of witnesses vibin' with us, let’s drop the baggage and the sin that trips us up, and run this race with patience, fr.
2Keep your eyes on Jesus, the OG of our faith; he went through mad struggle for the joy ahead, ignored the shame, and is chillin' at God's right hand, periodt.
3Think about him who dealt with all that drama from sinners, so you don’t get tired and lose your rizz.
4You haven’t even bled yet in the fight against sin, no cap.
5Don’t forget the advice that hits you like a parent saying, “Yo, don’t be salty about the Lord’s discipline, and don’t lose it when he calls you out.”
6Because the Lord loves you, he’s gonna keep you in check, reppin' every son he accepts.
7If you can handle the discipline, God’s treating you like family; what son doesn’t get some tough love?
8But if you’re not getting disciplined, then you’re just out here, no cap, not part of the fam.
9Plus, we had earthly dads who corrected us, and we respected them; shouldn’t we way more respect the Father of spirits and live?
10They disciplined us for a bit based on their vibes; but God does it for our good, so we can vibe with his holiness.
11Chillin' through tough times ain't fun, but fr, it brings some righteous vibes later on.
12So, lift those hands up and get your weak knees straightened out; let’s go!
13Make sure your path is straight, fam, so the lame don’t get lost; let’s heal that instead.
14Chase peace with everyone and stay holy, 'cause no cap, you gotta see the Lord.
15Keep your eyes peeled so no one misses God’s grace; don’t let bitterness mess up your vibe.
16Don’t be like Esau, selling out for some food; that’s sus behavior.
17You know later on, he wanted that blessing but got ghosted; he couldn’t find a way back, even with tears.
18You didn’t roll up to a mountain you could touch, all fiery and dark; that’s not the scene.
19And there was a trumpet sound, and people were like, “Nah, we don’t want to hear that anymore.”
20They couldn’t handle the rules, and if even a beast touched that mountain, it was a wrap.
21Moses was shook, fam. He was like, “This vibe is too intense, I’m lowkey freaking out.”
22But y’all just rolled up to Mount Sion, the city of the living God, heavenly Jerusalem, and a whole squad of angels, no cap.
23To the squad of firstborns, all written in heaven, and to God, the ultimate Judge, and the spirits of the righteous, all goated.
24And to Jesus, the ultimate mediator of the new deal, whose blood is spilling truth that’s way better than Abel’s.
25Don’t sleep on the one who’s speaking. If they didn’t vibe with the one who spoke on earth, we definitely can’t bounce if we ghost the one from heaven.
26His voice shook the earth, but now he’s like, “I’m about to shake not just earth but heaven too, fr.”
27This “once more” means he’s removing all the sus stuff so that what’s solid can stay lit.
28So since we’re getting a kingdom that’s unshakeable, let’s be grateful and serve God with mad respect and holy fear, periodt.
29Our God is a fire that consumes everything, no cap.
