“And every priest stands ministering daily and offering repeatedly the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins. But this Man, after He had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down at the right hand of God….For by one offering He has perfected forever those who are being sanctified.” Hebrews 10:11-12, 14
What a perfect week to spend time studying and meditating on the significance of Christ’s death on the cross. My heart is very full this morning as I have been considering how this event in history changed my life, actually gave me a flourishing life, from the time I was about twelve years old. Christ took the punishment I deserved when He suffered and died on the cross. As I believed and embraced this amazing truth my soul was set free to love, worship and serve Him—exactly the purpose we all were created for but are unable to accomplish apart from His complete forgiveness. Won’t you take some time to soak your thoughts with this astounding sacrifice made by the God of the Universe for you?
This Thursday morning as we gather to encourage one another concerning God’s wonderful goodness to us we will be digging into Hebrews 9:11-10:18 (questions on page 196 in our study guide).
Don’t forget our worshipful Good Friday service this week at 6:30 pm.
