"Greetings in the Name of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for 26 October 2011"
Today's Blog Title: "No More Sacrifice"
Today's Scripture Reading: Hebrews 10:1-39
Today's Key Verse: Hebrews 10:23 "Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful."
In Today's Scripture Reading we read how he identified ways in which the sacrifice of Christ is superior. The endless repetition of sacrifices made under the Mosaic Law is proof they could not perfect the worshiper. Similarly Christ's offering of a single sacrifice is proof that He makes men and women holy! (verses 1-10)
Jesus after making one sacrifice "sat down" at God's right hand, signifying that His work was finished (verses 11-14). Scripture adds it testimony in that it reminds us that under the New Covenant those who come to Christ for forgiveness are forgiven. Once we are truly forgiven no more sacrifice is required (verses 15-18).
In verses 19-25 the writer urges his readers to draw confidence from Christ's High Priesthood and so "hold unswervingly to the hope that we profess" as Christians. There are terrible consequences for anyone who refuses to respond to God's saving act in Christ (verses 26-31).
In verses 32-39 the writer knows his audience has made a very different choice--a choice exhibited in their commitment to Christ despite persecution, prison, or confiscation of property. He urges them to hold on to their initial confidence, sure that soon Jesus will come, and we will be ready for Him then.
Today's Hymn: "This Is The day The Lord Hath Made"
This is the day the Lord hath made; He calls the hours His own;
Let heaven rejoice, let earth be glad, and praise surround the throne
Today He rose and left the dead, And Satan's empire fell;
Today the saints His triumphs spread, And all His wonders tell
Hosanna to the anointed King, To David's Holy Son;
Help us, O Lord; descend and bring, Salvation from Thy throne.
Blest be the Lord, who comes to men, With messages of grace;
Who comes in God His Father's Name, To save a sinful race.
Hosanna in the highest strains, The Church on earth can raise;
The highest heavens, in which He reigns, Shall give Him nobler praise
Heavenly Father, Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit how we as Christians thank you Jesus for the ultimate sacrifice that you made upon the Cross of Calvary where You shed Your blood that when we come to You and ask for forgiveness we are washed in the blood of the Lamb that cleanses us of all our sins and our unrighteousness. Thank you Abba Father that we have been separated from our sins and set apart to You by the once and for sacrifice of Your Son Jesus Christ. Thank you Jesus for being our High Priest who having been tempted as we are yet without sin can sympathize with our weakness and who can perfectly represent us before Your Father.
Amen
