Jesus never told anyone that following him would be easy. He said that people should "count the cost." He warned us that if the world hated him, they would hate his disciples too.
But Christians from the very beginning have been struggling with the temptation to wander away from Jesus and to let their commitment fade. This is what the original recipients of the book of Hebrews were facing - and the author is warning them - "Do not turn back from following Jesus."
