The End of Their Conversation

Hebrews 13:7-8 KJV

Remember them which have the rule over you, who have spoken unto you the word of God: whose faith follow, considering the end of their conversation.

Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.

It must be remembered that their "conversation" refers to the testimony and not their speech, which is referenced earlier in the verse. We are encouraged to follow and imitate the faith of those who are spiritual rulers over us. And we are to do that "considering the end (the results of or the object of) their conversation", which is Jesus Christ.

Everything revolves around Christ.

• We are not following men; we are following the faith of God in them.
• We do not seek them as our end; we seek a relationship with and the presence of Jesus Christ.

Man worship has led to preachers who exploit the Word of God for their own gain. We do have rulers

• We do need teachers of the truth
• We are in need of shepherds

But they are to lead us toward and to Christ and him alone.
