Week 11, Day 4
March 17, 2022 Scripture: Hebrews 10 “And where these have been forgiven, sacrifice for sin is no longer necessary.” (Hebrews 10:18) “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 10:22–23) How much do I need to do to be forgiven and saved? How much sacrifice to be holy? What do I need to give to be cleansed and pure? What do I gotta give to get myself whole again? We may not ask ourselves those questions, but we actively function like we must work for our forgiveness and righteousness. Hebrews argues that the need for sacrifice is washed up in the blood of Jesus. His was a sacrifice, once and for all, for all time. Our role in this is to hold on. We hold on to Jesus, as the pioneer of our faith, the reason for our hope. He is faithful. Hold on to Him. He is your righteousness and truth. He makes us whole.
