The Confessions of Our Hope

The People of God Set Priorities
Hope and Confidence Come from God

Hope for a New Day

Hebrews 10:19-25

The Message

Don’t Throw It All Away

19-21 So, friends, we can now—without hesitation—walk right up to God, into “the Holy Place.” Jesus has cleared the way by the blood of his sacrifice, acting as our priest before God. The “curtain” into God’s presence is his body.
22-25 So let’s do it—full of belief, confident that we’re presentable inside and out. Let’s keep a firm grip on the promises that keep us going. He always keeps his word. Let’s see how inventive we can be in encouraging love and helping out, not avoiding worshiping together as some do but spurring each other on, especially as we see the big Day approaching.
 
For Reflection
God has told us what to expect from an obedient life.  So what is holding you back?  Hold tight to the promise of God.  Keep your eye on the day when the Kingdom of God will be fully realized.  Live creative lives, encouraging love and compassion.
 
Pray
that you will be worthy of the blood sacrifice.  Pray that you will work toward the Kingdom.  Pray that you will act creatively, building the kingdom, honoring freedom, compassion and justice.
