The purpose of the letter of
Hebrews is to present the
sufficiency & superiority of Christ;
for He offers a better priesthood,
covenant, sacrifice and power.
This week we understand God better
thru knowing His attributes, mostly
related to His ability to meet needs.
On Monday, we learn from Heb 4,
that He is the Great High Priest.
On Tuesday, we learn from Heb 6
that He is Anchor of Our Souls.
On Wed, we learn from Heb 8/9
that He is Mediator of New Covenant.
On Thursday, we learn from Heb 12,
He is Author & Finisher of Our Faith.
On Friday, we learn from Heb 13,
the Great Shepherd of the Sheep.
Let us humble ourselves and pray
and seek His face…In Jesus’ name.
Hebrews closes with an appeal for
a persevering Faith that relies on
the promises of God regardless
of the circumstances. Writing to
an audience whose actions were
being shaped by pressure from
the world rather than promises
from God, the author urges the
kind of Faith-inspired walk that
characterised so many OT saints.
Being so convinced of God’s
Faithfulness, they ordered their
lives according to His Word. Follow
their commendable example and
walk by Faith; and not by sight!
Lord, we’ll Hold On to Your Word:
Be content for He Himself has said:
I will Never Leave You nor forsake u.
So we may boldly say: The Lord
is my helper; I will not fear. What
can man do to me? (Heb 13:5-6)
(For) Jesus Christ is The Same
yesterday, today and forever (v8).
May the God of peace,
who through the blood of the
eternal covenant brought back
from the dead our Lord Jesus,
that Great Shepherd of the Sheep,
equip you with everything good
for doing His will, and may He
work in us what is pleasing to Him
through Jesus Christ (v20-21).
Lord, thank You for the promise
that You will be Always With
me in times of great trouble.
Thank You that You are my God
and my Saviour; and that You
love me and I’m precious to You.
Thank You for Your presence,
protection and shalom peace.
You are the one true God and
the only One who saves. Amen.
Lord Jesus, thanks that You never
change, which give me confidence.
Your immutability means so much
for I can trust that Your words
and character are as trustworthy
now as when You were on earth.
So, I can trust Your promises;
and I can rely firmly on the fact
that You are always compassionate;
that You will never give up on me &
that You’ll always be with me. Amen
Lord Jesus and Great Shepherd
of the Sheep, prepare me for
what You are preparing for me.
Strengthen and equip me with every
good thing so that I can do Your will.
Open my heart to the working of Your
Spirit so that my life will Honour You.
Produce in me, through the power
of Christ all that is pleasing to You
so that I’ll be Complete in U. Amen.
