Devotions For Lent – Day 15

A New and Living Way

“Christ had offered for all time a single sacrifice for sins.” (Hebrews 10:12)

Read John 14:1-7.

Try to imagine the sights and sounds of these words: “Every priest stands daily at his service, offering repeatedly the same sacrifices” (Hebrews 10:11). How many sacrifices a day? How much blood spilled on the ground? Walking into the temple was a walk past death. Then, when the veil was torn, all this changed to become a “new and living way” (Hebrews 10:20). A new way — no longer marked by blood and death. A living way — He, who died as our sacrifice, is alive!

The way through Jesus is the way of the abundant life! Life filled with joy, hope, and peace! In your reflections or writing today, make a note of a few people in your life who are lacking in hope or joy. Pray for them and ask God that they would know the new and living way though Jesus.
