Mediator of New Covenant(Sep 22)
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.
Lord, we receive Better Covenant:
 He is the one who mediated for
us a far Better Covenant with God,
based on better promises (Heb8:6)
This is the new covenant I will make
… 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,
and they will be my people…
…For all Shall Know Me (v10-11)
Under the old system, the blood of
goats and bulls cleanses people’s
bodies from ceremonial impurity.
Think how much more the blood
of Christ will purify our consciences
from sinful deeds so that we can
worship the living God. For Christ
offered himself to God as a Perfect
Sacrifice for our sins (Heb 9:13-14)
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.
Father God, You promise I Can
Know You – not just theoretically,
but through the experience of
a genuine relationship with You.
I really want that. And my prayer
is that You would become more
and more real to me as I turn my
thoughts and heart towards You.
In Jesus’ precious name, Amen.
Lord Jesus, I 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 for providing us
Ready Access into the presence
of God the Father. Amen.
