A Daily Devotion for Friday, April 22

Hebrews 10:19-22

Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way opened for us through the curtain, that is, his body, and since we have a great priest over the house of God, let us draw near to God with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water.

I have been thinking about Moses and the Exodus, and how different it was for believers at that time. They couldn’t even call God by name. Although God is and was the same, God seemed (perhaps) distant in those times and not as accessible to most of the people. Jesus came closer and physically interacted with humanity. Jesus is “a new and living way opened for us.” Jesus is our renewal, our road to new and stronger faith, our God as man.

Heavenly Father, you came to us in Jesus, and you gave us all a clean fresh start. I am thankful and I am yours. Amen
