A New Heavenly Worship

Listen to the Hebrews daily devotional below!

Begin with prayer

Dr. McGee said, “We are living in the day of the ministry of the Holy Spirit, the day of grace, when the Spirit of God takes the things of Christ and reveals them to us.” Before you start each lesson, ask the Lord to use it to grow you up in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ as He is revealed in that section. Dr. McGee said, “This is the secret of life and of Christian living.”

Questions

1. Why would there have been a barrier between God and the people in the Tabernacle?

2. The Tabernacle, all of its furnishings, and all of the details that went into it, served as a picture of who Jesus would be and what He would do. What do you think the veil tearing from top to bottom was intended to be a picture of?

3. The believer is now at peace with God because of the work of Jesus. What are some ways you can intentionally be at peace?

4. Salvation isn’t intended to be purely intellectual. We are to know God
in the sense of an intimate relationship and not just being aware of information about Him. Are there areas of your life where your relationship with God is more of an awareness, rather than an intimate relationship?

5. If God truly makes all things new in salvation, what parts of your thinking need this renewal?

6. The beauty of what Christ accomplished with His sacrifice is its simplicity. Jesus’ blood paid all of the price for our sins. Who in your life needs to hear this message?

7. If you were a Jewish Christian who had seen the beauty of the Tabernacle, would it have been hard for you to imagine there was a better, more beautiful, true tabernacle in heaven?
