Hebrews 6-9

Priests and covenants and sacrifices everywhere. (The Bible is a really bloody book, huh? Can you imagine if we still had the old covenant and had to sacrifice and burn animals and sprinkle blood and all that stuff? Wow-the germ-a-phobes would not survive!) How cool is it that Jesus is all three in one: He’s the high priest, the guarantee of a better/new covenant, and the ultimate sacrifice! So, it begs the question—“if Jesus is all that, what can I do?” Answer: absolutely nothing! We can’t do a thing. And yet we keep trying so often to be better people, to give more, to “please” God. It can’t be done-let it go! Let God save you once and for all and quit trying to do it yourself! Now, I’ll get off my soap box and try to practice what I preach...
