"Greeting in the Name of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for 29 September 2011"
Today's Bible Verse: Hebrew 10:19-22 "Therefore brethren, having boldness to enter the Holiest by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way, which He consecrated for us, through the veil, that is, His flesh and having a High Priest over the house of God, let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of FAITH, having our hearts sprinkled from evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water."
In these verses, the writer of Hebrews demonstrates the relationship between faith, hope, and love. Faith in God leads believers to place their hope in His promises. Restoring a right relationship with God then prompts believers to restore their relationship with others..
Love for God demonstrates itself in love for others. The writer here exhorts his readers to faith, hope, and love through these three commands: "Let us draw near" (verse 22); "let us hold fast" (verse 22); "let us consider" (verse 24).
Unlike the Israelites, who approached God at Mount Sinai with fear and trembling, believers can approach God with boldness because as Christians we posses Christ's righteousness and not our own. The Holiest refers to the very presence of God. Through the blood of Christ, we have perpetual access to God Himself.
The Old Testament priests passed through a veil to get to the holy place. Now (Praise God) we as Believers enter God's presence through Christ's flesh, meaning his sacrificial death. We as Believers have a High Priest who having been tempted Himself can sympathize with our weakness and perfectly represent us before God. Our consciences can be washed through the blood of Christ. Just as the high priest washed before entering the Most Holy Place, so we as Believers are cleansed before we come before God.
Today's Hymn: "Give Of Your Best To The Master"
Give of your best to the Master, give of the strength, of your youth
Throw your soul's fresh glowing ardor, into the battle for truth
Jesus has set the example, dauntless was he, young and brave;
Give Him your loyal devotion, give Him the best that you have
Give of your best to the Master; Give of the strength of your youth
Clad in Salvation's full armor; Join in the battle for truth
Heavenly Father, Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit, as we eagerly await for Your return to take us home may we as Christians continue to do Your work upon this earth spreading the Good News of Jesus Christ and telling them of the free gift of Salvation to those who come to You seeking forgiveness from there sins. Thank you Father that we as believers have been separated from our sins and set apart to You by the once for all sacrifice of Your Son Jesus Christ.
Amen
Today's Biblical Truth: "The believers hope in Christ is secure, like an anchor and this anchor is not in sand, but in the very presence of Almighty God."
