Chapter 2 of Hebrews is a snap of the fingers in the face of the spiritually glazed eyes of a church in imminent danger. Calling their attention to what they have heard lest they drift away in a sea of self-deceived apostasy. Note the imagery contrast in Heb 6:19 “..we have this as a sure and steadfast anchor of the soul...”. To whom much is given, much is required. In Mat 10:14-15, and 11:20-24, the archetypical judgment of Sodom and Gomorrah is evoked as a minimal example of what a post-New Covenant populous can expect if they finally reject so great a salvation! Calvin says: “God wishes gifts to be valued by us at their proper worth, the more precious they are, the baser is our ingratitude if they do not have their proper value for us. In accordance with the greatness of Christ, so will be the severity of God's vengeance on all despises of the Gospel.”
