On the cross He faced the consuming fire our sins earned for Him. Yet the gospel is that Christ by the grace of God fell into the hands of God for us. It is a dreadful thing to fall into the hands of the living God, Hebrews 10:31. We are presented with this great salvation that must not be ignored, as in Hebrews 2, OR it is the consuming fire when the Lord will judge His people, as in Hebrews 10. There is only one place to drift when we stray from the sacrifice of Christ, and that is into hell itself. The dock is not floating away from us we are drifting away from it. The gospel is the dock to which we must be tied. When I say the gospel slipping, Hebrews corrects me to state the issue more sharply, that it is we who are slipping not the gospel. It is our assumed treasure (we would all sat that!) but it is still the object of our neglect. The gospel is fading in our consciousness and understanding.
