Get Off The Altar

And when sins have been forgiven, there is no need to offer any more sacrifices.
Hebrews 10:18

 

 

My Takeaways

Something Old

The Covenant

  • Unable to cleanse (Hebrews 10:1)
  • Unable to erase (Hebrews 10:3,16)
  • Unable to satisfy (Hebrews 10:3, year after year)

Because of the new covenant, God’s perfect plan of purification, eradication, and satisfaction of our sin debt, we are free to get off the altar.

  • Stop living less than because of past regrets.
  • Stop living left behind because of past failures
  • Stop living unloved because of past sin.

Get off the altar and live the life Jesus died to give you. Free from your past to enjoy your future.

Something New

For the gifts and sacrifices that the priests offer are not able to cleanse the consciences of the people who bring them. (Hebrews 9:9)

Something to Do

Get off the altar and live.

  1. My favorite lesson of the year. Thank you, Wendy for reminding us that Christ paid too high a price for us to stay in the pit of dispair. Thank you for pointing my eyes to the cross that says I am loved with an everlasting love. Jesus is the reason for the season. But so am I and everyone listening today. Because we needed a Savior. And He came.

  2. “Once for all time”
    Jesus death is for my salvation for all time!!
    Something to do
    Live Holy in that freedom!

  3. Heb 10:26 stood out to me today. I was challenged to not sin deliberately in areas that God has revealed are wrong to me. Choose to walk in the freedom of His sacrifice and freedom and stop choose sin over that freedom.

  4. My Takeaways: The New Covenant Revealed

    Something Old: The law could never make men perfect; only a perfect sacrifice offered by a perfect high priest could fulfill the perfection that God requires. Today’s reading in Hebrew reminded me that there was only one who could satisfy man’s need for forgiveness. So God’s plan unfolded, God became man and lived a perfect life. He died a substitutionary death, and rose again, becoming my eternal high priest. Jesus Christ gave His own blood as a perfect substitute upon the eternal mercy seat of heaven. Believing and trusting in this means that salvation can never be taken from me. It’s a free gift. It is eternal.

    Something New: Hebrews 10:26-30
    Doesn’t offer much hope to those who reject this free gift of salvation. But I need not to worry, I am in Him, I am a new creature, forgiven, sealed, and secured for eternity. I never want to reject this wonderful gift Jesus freely gave, nor do I want to neglect sharing with others the only means of salvation that God has given. I have the only hope in a hopeless world. I must share it. Wasting opportunities the Lord has provided would be a terrible thing.

    Something To Do: Share with others that Jesus Christ is my mediator and that I have been called to receive eternal life. Share in faith that Jesus Christ died as a ransom for my sins and that I am now living a new eternal life in Christ.

  5. We may be in December and very close to celebrating the birth of Christ, but today’s lesson was a solid reminder of the RISEN Christ! “For God’s will was for us to be made Holy by the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ, once for all time.” (Hebrews 10:10) I am overwhelmed with gratitude for the gift of my salvation!??
