Daily Bible Reading – May 2020 God’s Life-Giving Word of FaithSample

  

May 3

Introduction

God gave Moses the plans for building the first Sacred Tent (Exodus 25:40—26:37). Israel’s priests offered sacrifices at this tent and later at the Temple. Both the Sacred Tent and the Temple are imperfect when compared to the real place of worship in heaven.

Today’s Scripture: Hebrews 8:2

He serves as high priest in the Most Holy Place, that is, in the real tent which was put up by the Lord, not by human hands.

Today’s Reading 

Hebrews 8:1-13

Reflect

In biblical times, the high priest was in charge of the holy place in the temple. He was the only one who could go into the inner part of the temple, the most holy place, the place of God’s dwelling. God now provides access for all people to what is now the most holy place—heaven. What does God’s promise mean to you?

Pray

Everlasting God, through Christ our Lord you welcome everyone into your holy and sacred presence. Help me to extend your welcome to others by sharing the Good News of Christ. Amen.
