SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY HEBREWS 10:1-18

¹ The law is only an unclear picture of the good things coming in the future; it is not the real thing. The people under the law offer the same sacrifices every year, but these sacrifices can never make perfect those who come near to worship God.² If the law could make them perfect, the sacrifices would have already stopped. The worshipers would be made clean, and they would no longer have a sense of sin.³ But these sacrifices remind them of their sins every year, ⁴ because it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.

⁵ So when Christ came into the world, he said:
"You do not want sacrifices and offerings,
But you have prepared a body for me.
⁶ You do not ask for burnt offerings
And offerings to take away sins.
⁷ Then I said, 'Look, I have come.
It is written about me in the book.
God, I have come to do what you want.'" — Psalm 40:6–8
⁸ In this Scripture he first said, "You do not want sacrifices and offerings. You do not ask for burnt offerings and offerings to take away sins." (These are all sacrifices that the law commands.) ⁹ Then he said, "Look, I have come to do what you want." God ends the first system of sacrifices so he can set up the new system.¹⁰ And because of this, we are made holy through the sacrifice Christ made in his body once and for all time.

¹¹ Every day the priests stand and do their religious service, often offering the same sacrifices. Those sacrifices can never take away sins.¹² But after Christ offered one sacrifice for sins, forever, he sat down at the right side of God.¹³ And now Christ waits there for his enemies to be put under his power.¹⁴ With one sacrifice he made perfect forever those who are being made holy.

¹⁵ The Holy Spirit also tells us about this. First he says:
¹⁶ "This is the agreement I will make
With them at that time, says the Lord.
I will put my teachings in their hearts
And write them on their minds." — Jeremiah 31:33
¹⁷ Then he says:
"Their sins and the evil things they do—
I will not remember anymore." — Jeremiah 31:34
¹⁸ Now when these have been forgiven, there is no more need for a sacrifice for sins.

GREATLY BLESSED, HIGHLY FAVORED, IMPERFECT BUT FORGIVEN CHILD OF GOD!!!
