The Hebrew brethren…had fallen into the habit of neglecting the regular meetings of the church. This was clearly wrong for several reasons. They neglected and set at naught and ordinance of the church…deprived themselves of…religious privileges....The delinquent Hebrews were doing wrong…because of the bad example which they were setting before others. Christ intends that every one of His disciples shall be a living witness for the truth. No wonder, then, that the Apostle so earnestly exhorted the Hebrews, not to neglect the duty and privilege of meeting with their brethren for public…worship.
