Daily Devo | Backstage Passes to God (New Testament in a Year, Hebrews 9:1-12)
From Highrock Church · 16:47
Show by Highrock Church
The writer of Hebrews explains the architecture at the heart of Jewish worship — the Holy Place and the Most Holy Place inside the Temple. The Holy Place was a place only for priests in the performance of their ritual duties, while the Most Holy Place was only entered by the High Priest, and even then, only once a year. Although sacred, these spaces were actually a barrier to keep the people at a distance from God. In other words, people should want to move past this old system. Thankfully, Jesus came to do just that — to remove the barriers and make a way for people to enter into God's presence themselves, rather than through a priest. Jesus gives us a backstage VIP pass to meet with God in person!Looking for a previous devo? Want to share one with a friend? Start here:https://www.highrock.org/daily-devotionals/For Reflection:- The old system was designed to restrict access to God. What are your thoughts and feelings about the access to God that Jesus now provides to you?- The writer explains that the old sacrifices could not fully cleanse the conscience. Are there past mistakes or feelings of guilt that you continue to carry? What would it mean to trust more fully in the grace Jesus offers?- Prayer: Lord Jesus, thank you for opening the way into God's presence; help me live with gratitude and confidence in the grace you give.
