A poetic reflection (by Bro. Colin) on Hebrews 6:13–20 from Ps Leon’s Sermon

A ssurance of the God who

N ever lies, whose word is sure;¹ in

C hrist, our soul’s eternal

H igh Priest and Forerunner—steadfast, firm, and pure²—

O ath-bound, He guarantees the promise for those who hold fast:³

R est in the refuge found behind the veil.⁴
