Monday Hebrews 9:6 When these things were all in place, the priests went in and out of the first room regularly as they performed their religious duties. Tuesday Hebrews 9:7 But only the high priest goes into the Most Holy Place, and only once a year, and always with blood, which he offers to You, God, to cover my own sins and the sins the people have committed in ignorance. Wednesday Hebrews 9:8 By these regulations You, Holy Spirit, revealed that the Most Holy Place was not open to the people as long as the first room and the entire system it represents were still in use. Thursday Hebrews 9:9 This is an illustration pointing to the present time. For the gifts and sacrifices that the priests offer are not able to cleanse the consciences of the people who bring them. Friday Hebrews 9:10 For that old system deals only with food and drink and ritual washing--external regulations that are in effect only until their limitations can be corrected. Zingers from Croft M. Pentz, Tyndale House Publishers 4106. If you cannot sleep at night, don’t count sheep--talk to the Shepherd.
4107. God hears the heart without words but never words without heart. 4108. Satan laughs at our toil, mocks at our wisdom, but trembles when we pray. 4109. Prayer doesn’t need proof--it needs practice. 4110. The world seeks victory by trying to get back on its feet--the Christian by getting down on his knees. |
