Daily Bible Reading – July 2021, God’s Word of FaithChikamu

July 3

Introduction

Rules for correct worship and the duties of the priests according to the first covenant are described in today's reading. This description is contrasted with Christ who, as our High Priest, offered his own blood as an offering and perfect sacrifice for our eternal salvation.

Today’s Scripture Reading 

Hebrews 9:1-22

Today’s Key Verse:  Hebrews 9:15a

"Christ is the one who arranges a new covenant, so that those who have been called by God may receive the eternal blessings that God has promised."

Reflect

How are worship rituals according to the first covenant contrasted with the new covenant, and what Christ has done? What does Christ’s sacrifice mean to you? Reread verse 11. What is your understanding of the “tent” that is “greater and more perfect” and “not…made by human hands”?

Pray

Lord Jesus, thank you for sacrificing yourself so that I might obtain eternal salvation through you. Teach me to live according to your will and to serve you always. Amen.
