DAILY SHOWER June 24, 2022 Devotion and Declarations
Prayer before the Word:
_ O God, I thank You for a bright new day. I pray You to make my way brighter and upright as I study Your word in Jesus name, Amen_
TODAY’S TOPIC: The everlasting redemption
Text: Hebrew 10:9-18 (NIV):
"10:9. Then he said, "Here I am, I have come to do your will." He sets aside the first to establish the second.
10:10. And by that will, we have been made holy through the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
10:11. Day after day every priest stands and performs his religious duties; again and again he offers the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins.
10:12. But when this priest had offered for all time one sacrifice for sins, he sat down at the right hand of God.
10:13. Since that time he waits for his enemies to be made his footstool,
10:14. because by one sacrifice he has made perfect forever those who are being made holy.
10:15. The Holy Spirit also testifies to us about this. First he says:
10:16. "This is the covenant I will make with them after that time, says the Lord. I will put my laws in their hearts, and I will write them on their minds."
10:17. Then he adds: "Their sins and lawless acts I will remember no more."
10:18. And where these have been forgiven, there is no longer any sacrifice for sin."
SHOWER (Reflection):
Jesus came to redeem our sins and reconciled us with God. Today's scripture text explained how people usually go to priests to perform different sacrifices. But Almighty God made it possible for us to be cleansed by offering His son, Jesus on the cross for our everlasting redemption. By doing this, God also put His laws into our hearts. One needs not to consult bible or any law before he discovers that he's going contrary to the will of God because our conscience now judges us. In that case, why would you continue commiting sins?
