Jesus was thought crazy because he had become famous for announcing the Kingdom of God and demonstrating it in practice. Even his relatives wanted to put him protective custody. Hebrews points to what followers of Jesus could see and others not. Instead of the conventional temple of Jewish worship or a crucified criminal, we by grace have eyes to see Jesus as High Priest entering the heavenly temple with his own blood. And we commit to this vision. Thus we realize that God has given us eyes to see greater unseen realities. So we should not be surprised that others thing us crazy or worse, but rather keep our eyes on the unseen realities so we not fall away and pray that God gives eyes of faith to those who cannot yet see.
