Hebrews 9:15

For this reason Christ is the mediator of a new covenant, that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance—now that he has died as a ransom to set them free from the sins committed under the first covenant ~ Hebrews 9:15

 

Jesus came as a baby, grew into a man, suffered as a criminal, died on a Cross meant for sinners, to be exalted to the right hand of God the Father! This He did for you and me! Our weak body He took on, our crimes were placed on His head, our punishment He withstood, so that we might have a place with Him in glory!! He kept His covenant promise to the end and beyond, becoming for us a mediator, He slew the enemy of our soul in that one act, setting us free from the bondage by which we were held! “For God so loved the world that He sent His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life!” He is the atonement for our sin, once, for all people, so that we might have peace in our heart and mind and soul. His death a sacrifice for our sin, for He was sinless, blameless, a lamb led to the slaughter for our sake! Oh, how much I owe Him, how much you owe Him for the Cross! Oh, you who may be hesitating in believing that He is the Son of the Most High God, do not waver any longer! Come to the cross, come to the One who has taken away the cost of your sin upon Himself so that you might be free! Free from shame and guilt, free from your past, free to live an abundant life, and free from the fear of death, for He has promised to us that believe in Him, eternal life with Him forever in the heavenly realm! What joy there is in knowing Jesus, what peace there is in His name, what power there is in His Holy covenant promise! Come, today, come!

Proverbs 18:2

Fools find no pleasure in understanding but delight in sharing their own opinions ~ Proverbs 18:2 If we are going to understand something, we must fully digest it so that when we speak, we speak with wisdom. When we have only half truths in our mind, our words become empty and senseless. We then puff out air rather than understanding when we speak. A wise person will want to improve their mind through learning in various ways from the world around them. A person who delights in spiritual understanding will find peace and enjoyment in reading the Word of God on a daily basis, and in participating with God’s people in a learning and praising environment – the church! We come together in corporate worship with the understanding that not one of us knows all things, but we bend our mind and heart to learn what God has to show and say to us. A foolish person makes a show of what they “know” to please their friends or to save face in front of them. More often a wise person will hold t

Romans 8:26

In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans ~ Romans 8:26 Many days, many times, I have the words for prayer. It comes forth and flows fairly naturally as I converse with my Lord God. I hope in the God I worship to hear me, and to receive my words, as I pray in the name of Jesus and believe in Him, my intercessor. He is my Living Saviour, my High Priest, standing at the right hand of God the Father. But there are times when my pain has been so deep that my words will not come. There are times when my agony is so piercing that what words I may speak would not be enough. And so, in my deep, black moments, I come before my God and let my darkest emotions erupt in sounds that only He can understand. The Holy Spirit within me cries out in my stead, and He becomes my second intercessor. It is not that He is not there with me in all my prayers, but there are times wh

Isaiah 43:19

Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert ~ Isaiah 43:19 When we meet a challenge, we are often found discouraged, lost, even hopeless. Nothing is working, everything seems to be against us. We do not know how to move forward, so we remain curled up in a ball. Then, a glimmer of light shines through! Hope is regained and movement is stirred within. Don’t we become excited when we begin to feel it? God moves like that. We cannot see our way around it, but He can and does. And He makes a way for us out of the calamity of our fears. It is the feeling of springtime after a long winter, or the smell of fresh cut grass. Life stirs within and we move and we see what God saw all the time – the answer to our dilemma. Our desert place becomes an oasis, and we can do what we are called to do. Something totally unexpected happens, something unheard of, but it begins in our life, and we feel the
