Thursday, August 21: Christ, Our Ultimate Sacrifice
Day 4: Christ, Our Ultimate Sacrifice
Reading: Hebrews 10:1-18
In Psalm 51:16-17, David recognizes that God desires a broken and contrite heart more than sacrifices. This foreshadows the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Today's reading from Hebrews explains how Christ's sacrifice once and for all accomplished what the old system of sacrifices could not. As you reflect on this, consider the magnitude of what Jesus has done for you. You don't need to earn God's forgiveness or try to balance the scales of justice - Christ has done it all. How does this truth change the way you approach God and live your daily life?
