Bible Verse of The Day – 4-15-24

Hebrews 9:1 (NLT) 1 That first covenant between God and Israel had regulations for worship and a place of worship here on earth.

Everything in the Old Covenant was based on rules and laws.

Prayers, sacrifices, and worship all had a specific order and a required method by which they must be done.

Priests were required to lead the people and carry out these rituals.

The people depended on the priests for every aspect of their relationship with God.

Today, that is no longer the case.

No more are we required to depend on priests or other men to intercede on our behalf for these things.

When Jesus breathed His last breath and surrendered His spirit, there were several significant things that happened.

One of those things was the tearing of the temple veil from top to bottom.

This veil separated the Holy Place from the Most Holy Place (the Holy of Holies). Only priests who had been specially prepared were allowed to enter the Most Holy Place.

It was in the Holy of Holies that the priests went before God to make the sacrifices required for the remission of the sins of Israel.

After the veil was torn from top to bottom, the barrier that kept people like you and I from going directly to God was gone.

It had been destroyed!

We now have unfettered, direct access to the God who created us and breathed life into our lungs.

His word tells us that we can now go boldly before Him to obtain His mercy and grace.

Hebrews 4:16 (NKJV) 16 Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

Thank You, Father, for removing the barriers, and for allowing us to approach You directly, without fear of retribution.

In return, let our lives bring honor and glory to you in everything we do.
