Daily Bible Reading – April 2020 God’s Life-Giving Word Of HopeMuestra
April 23
Introduction
Today’s reading cites two priests mentioned in the Old Testament—Melchizedek (Genesis 14:17-20) and Aaron (Exodus 28 and 29). God made Jesus the High Priest who “became the source of eternal salvation for all those who obey him” (5:9). Believers are encouraged to approach God’s throne of grace and mercy with confidence.
Today’s Scripture: Hebrews 4:14b
For we have a great High Priest who has gone into the very presence of God—Jesus, the Son of God.
Today’s Reading
Hebrews 4:14—5:10
Reflect
How is Jesus described in verse 4:15? What does this verse teach you about Jesus? Where in your life do you encounter temptation? What does knowing that Jesus can empathize with your experience mean to you?
Pray
Lord Jesus, you are my great High Priest. In the face of temptation, you have taught me to remain faithful to your Word. Strengthen me against the temptations in my life so that I may live as your true disciple. Amen.
