Christ Ushers New Covenant
The writer of Hebrews highlighted
the superiority of Christ by pointing
out the heart of the human problem
is the problem of the human heart.
The old covenant was inadequate
because it was unable to deal
permanently with sin. But God’s
new covenant written in Christ’s
own blood which He shed on
the cross – makes full provision
for the forgiveness of sins.
Dear Lord Jesus, Thank You
for all that You have done for us.
Thanks for the book of Hebrews
that shows You are superior
over everyone and everything.
Thanks we can access directly
to You for help in our challenges.
Grant us confidence as we claim
all the truths in Hebrews 8-10:
that You Pave Better Covenant;
that You Enable Ready Excess and
that You Mold Our Mindset. Amen
Lord, You Pave Better Covenant:
This is the new covenant I will
make with the people of Israel
on that day, says the Lord: I will
put My laws in their minds so they
will understand them, and I will
write them on their hearts so they
will obey them. I will be their God,
& they will be My people (Heb 8:10)
Father, Thank You for lifting me to
intimacy with You through Jesus.
Thank You for the freedom and
rest to realise that through the
new covenant in Christ Jesus
I am enabled to obey Your words.
Empower me to cling to You O Lord
and write Your words in my heart.
Open my eyes to see Your great
work in those who believe. Amen.
Lord, You Enable Ready Excess:
Only the high priest goes into
the Most Holy Place, and only
once a year & always with blood,
which he offers to God to cover
his own sins & the sins the people
have committed in ignorance. By
these regulations the Holy Spirit
revealed that the Most Holy Place
was not open to the people(H9:7-8)
Lord Jesus, Thank You with all
my heart for being the perfect
sacrifice for my sins and the sins
of the whole world. When Your
blood was presented on the
heavenly mercy seat and You
offered up Your Spirit, the veil
of the temple was forever rent.
Thank You Lord for providing us
ready access into the presence
of God the heavenly Father. Amen
Lord, You Mold Our Mindset:
This is the covenant I will make
with them after that time, says
the Lord. I will put my laws in
their hearts, and I will write them
on their minds. Then he adds:
Their sins & their lawless deeds I’ll
remember no more (Heb 10:16-17)
Father God, Thank You for Your
new covenant which is not only
gracious but also encouraging.
Guide me according to the truth
and instructions that You have
written on my heart and mind.
Even as I purpose to obey them,
grant me the grace to be willing
to do Your will each day. Amen.
