Meditation

Hi there,

Today's passage picks up directly from Leviticus 20. Showing that the law can define holiness, but it cannot produce it.

...and if the law cannot end our separation from God, only one thing can.

Jesus is the embodiment of holiness, and it is his body, sacrificed on the cross, that ends the separation and makes us holy. We have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

Today's text is Hebrews 10:1-10

Christ’s Sacrifice Once for All

10 The law is only a shadow of the good things that are coming—not the realities themselves. For this reason it can never, by the same sacrifices repeated endlessly year after year, make perfect those who draw near to worship.

² Otherwise, would they not have stopped being offered? For the worshipers would have been cleansed once for all, and would no longer have felt guilty for their sins. ³ But those sacrifices are an annual reminder of sins. ⁴ It is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.

⁵ Therefore, when Christ came into the world, he said:

“Sacrifice and offering you did not desire,
but a body you prepared for me;
​⁶ with burnt offerings and sin offerings
you were not pleased.
​⁷ Then I said, ‘Here I am—it is written about me in the scroll—
I have come to do your will, my God.’”

⁸ First he said, “Sacrifices and offerings, burnt offerings and sin offerings you did not desire, nor were you pleased with them”—though they were offered in accordance with the law.​

⁹ Then he said, “Here I am, I have come to do your will.” He sets aside the first to establish the second.

¹⁰ And by that will, we have been made holy through the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

Encouragement

For them I sanctify myself, that they too may be truly sanctified.
