Daily Nourishment- Hebrews 4:14-16; 5:7-9
The author of this letter knows the depth of the meaning of the passion, death and resurrection of Jesus. He knows its effect and wants to share this with all who will listen. The greatest challenge here is getting people to take the time to listen and reflect. In an age of busyness this is a big task. The only person we can control in this regard is ourself. This Easter let us reflect carefully on the mysteries we celebrate.
Hebrews 4:14-16; 5:7-9
14 Brothers and sisters: Since we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast to our confession. 15 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who has similarly been tested in every way, yet without sin. 16 So let us confidently approach the throne of grace to receive mercy and to find grace for timely help. 5: 7 In the days when Christ was in the flesh, he offered prayers and supplications with loud cries and tears to the one who was able to save him from death, and he was heard because of his reverence. 8 Son though he was, he learned obedience from what he suffered; 9 and when he was made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation for all who obey him.
