Some days I am simply overwhelmed by God's presence. When He chooses to speak to me through His word, there's nothing I can do but praise Him. This morning I was reading in Hebrews, and I felt His presence so strongly and His love so greatly. Praise You, God!
And since today is Good Friday, I was just made all the more aware of His great sacrifice and continuing love for us.
"When Christ came as high priest of the good things that are already here, he went through the greater and more perfect tabernacle that is not man-made, that is to say, not a part of this creation. He did not enter by means of the blood of goats and calves; but he entered the Most Holy Place once for all by his own blood, having obtained eternal redemption."
Hebrews 9:11-12
"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. Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful."
Hebrews 10:19-23
Thank You, Jesus, for Your sacrifice. Let us live and love in Your grace.
