The original recipients of this letter were tempted, due to opposition and persecution, to abandon Christ and return to Judaism. Though we don't currently find ourselves in the same situation, we do live in a culture ripe with distractions that can cause us to lose our focus on Christ. Thus, the exhortation is this passage, to "fix our thoughts on Jesus" is profoundly relevant for our lives. How is the Spirit leading you to heed this exhortation and fix your thoughts on Jesus, your gracious and faithful rescuer?
