“Therefore, brothers and sisters, since we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way opened for us through the curtain, that is, his body….” Hebrews 10: 19-20 (NIV)

Jesus Christ ushered in a new covenant to make our worship easier. His blood removed our sin which acted as the barrier between us and God, and we can now face the Almighty confidently. He is our superior priest, the righteous son of God who lives forever and who is always available to intercede for us. Our hearts are the new sanctuary, and the law is also written there through the Holy Spirit who helps us with the power to be sanctified and become like Christ.

What more can we ask for? Let us respond with obedient faith and accept his sacrifice; repent of our sins and live a life guided by His principles. Through this we will have a full, abundant life. It is a privilege we have been given as heirs to his Kingdom.

“Bad people aren't happy. . . Wickedness often wears fancy clothes, dines on rich food, has money, controls armies, rules nations. . . but it never seems to know joy. Peace, laughter, trust, ease: these things flee from wickedness like sparrows from the shadow of a hawk.”
― Sonya Hartnett, The Children of the King
