Hebrews 10

The law, with its repeated sacrifices, was only a shadow of the good things to come and could never fully cleanse worshipers. Year after year, offerings were made, but they could not remove sin. Instead, they served as a reminder of sin. Christ came to do what the law could not. He offered Himself once for all, making perfect those who are sanctified. Through His sacrifice, God promises to remember sins no more. With full access to God through Christ, believers are encouraged to draw near with sincere hearts, hold firmly to hope, and encourage one another in love and good deeds. A warning is given against deliberate sin after receiving the truth, and a call is made to endure with faith, knowing that God rewards those who do His will.

 

We have been given something far greater than a system of repeated sacrifices. Jesus offered Himself once as sufficient to cover all our sins. Because of Him, we can come before God with complete confidence, knowing our hearts have been made clean. We are called to live with that boldness, not falling back into fear or guilt. Our hope is secure, and we must hold to it no matter what we face. We are also called to look out for one another, encouraging each other in love and faithfulness. Together, we flee willful sin and honor Jesus’ sacrifice, trusting that God sees our efforts and endurance and rewards those who remain faithful to His will. Let us not grow weary.

 

Merciful Lord, we praise You for opening the way into Your presence through the blood of Jesus. Thank You for removing the weight of sin and giving us confidence to draw near to You. Fill our hearts with awe at the gift of His sacrifice. Teach us to walk in holiness with eternal gratitude. Remind us that we are Your people, set apart to love, serve, and endure together. When trials come and the temptation to choose sin arises, help us to stand firm in honor of Christ’s sacrifice. May we set our hopes on the better possession to come. 

 

Thought Questions:

 

What has the blood of Jesus accomplished in your life that no other sacrifice or offering could ever do? How do you express your gratitude?

 

Why is it important for God’s people to gather together for prayer, conversation, worship, and sharing? Is that a priority for you?

 

What happens if Christians choose to sin willfully? How do the promises of God through Jesus help you resist the temptation to sin?
