HEAD
We’ve spent a lot of time this week talking about the sacrifice of Jesus and how he fulfilled the law. When the priests would enter the holiest place through the veil before Jesus came, they were trembling and scared because if they forgot the smallest thing that the law required, they would die. Now that Jesus shed his blood and the veil has been torn, we can come to God with boldness. We don’t have to be fearful and scared because Jesus gave us a new way of living. In the man-made tent, only the priest could be in the presence of God. Now we can be in His presence forever! Since we have been cleansed perfectly through the blood of Jesus, we can be reminded of God’s faithfulness. As scripture says, “Let us hold fast to the confession of our hope without wavering”.
HEART
So, who is our hope? Jesus! When things are hard, we can hold on to Him and never be discouraged because Jesus is faithful. You can think of Him as a life jacket. When the waves are tossing you around, and you’re scared you may go under, a lifejacket holds you up. It keeps you from sinking, Jesus does the same thing! He loves you so much!
HANDS
As you’re talking to God this week, I want you to think about what it must’ve been like for the priests who were trembling and scared in the presence of God. Thank God that through His Son, Jesus, you can directly talk to Him without fear!
Prayer: God, thank You for sending Your Son so that we have hope, and we can approach You with boldness! Amen.
