Jesus enthroned!

Scripture reading for October 23rd:  Jeremiah 6-8, Hebrews 8

Key Scriptures:  Hebrews 8:1-2 “Now the point in what we are saying is this: we have such a High Priest, One who is seated at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven, a Minister in the holy places, in the true tent that the Lord set up, not man.”

Hebrews was written to Jewish believers who understood the Old Testament and God’s law.  They were used to going through the priesthood of Aaron to cover sins with a sacrifice of animal blood.  But Jesus Christ shed His own blood and offered it in the true “Holy of Holies” in heaven on our behalf.  His work done, He is enthroned with the Father at His right hand.  Hallelujah!  Because He intercedes for us, we can stand before His throne!

Jeremiah 7:9-10  “Will you steal, murder, commit adultery, swear falsely, make offerings to Baal, and go after other gods that you have not known, and then come and stand before Me in this house, which is called by My Name, and say, ‘We are delivered!’–only to go on doing all these abominations?” 

Prayer:  Lord Jesus, thank You for delivering me from sins and their penalty.  Now I am free to worship and serve You alone, the enthroned King of Kings! Amen!
