BLESSINGS OF THE NEW AND LIVING WAY

As we enter into a time of Thanksgiving, I would like for us to look at what the Hebrew writer says is the greatest blessing of all. Because of what Jesus did for us on the cross of Calvary, we now have access to the presence of God. Back in Old Testament times, the only one who could approach God on behalf of the people, was the high priest. Once a year, he entered the most holy place, and sprinkled the blood of the animals, on the mercy seat, of the Ark of the Covenant. This was to atone for the sins of the people. But now because our eternal high priest, Jesus Christ, was the sacrifice for our sins, the veil that separated the most holy place from the rest of the temple, was torn from top to bottom. This means that now each one who has surrendered their lives to Jesus Christ, has personal access to the throne of God.
This is truly the greatest blessing one could have.
To enjoy a personal fellowship with the God of the universe, is truly the greatest blessing of all.
In Hebrews 10:19-25 The Hebrew writer breaks down for us the elements of this wonderful blessing. Because of our Lord Jesus Christ, we can..
1. DRAW NEAR (Hebrews 10:22)
2. HOLD FAST TO OUR CONFESSION (Hebrews 10:23)
3. CONSIDER ONE ANOTHER (Hebrews 10:24)
4. ASSEMBLE OURSELVES TOGETHER
(Hebrews 10:25)
