ANGLICAN DAILY FOUNTAIN DEVOTIONAL FOR 28 MARCH 2022

TOPIC: A BETTER COVENANT IN JESUS CHRIST

Anglican Daily Fountain 28th March 2022 | STUDY

Man is created to worship God. Worship in the earthly tabernacle featured prominently the offering of the blood of animals and ashes which were sprinkled on the worshippers annually by the priests to make them clean outwardly and occasionally. The regulations of the old covenant as good as they were, did not give the worshipper the desired access to God, as the gifts and the blood of animals being offered could not atone for man’s sins (v.9).

Also, they could not disclose the Way to the Most Holy Place, that is, the Presence of God (v.8). The coming of Christ inaugurated a new covenant. Christ is the High Priest and Mediator of the new covenant. He entered a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made by man (heavenly), and by the means of His own blood once and for all. His sacrifice cleanses our conscience from dead works to serve the living God.

Beloved, have you accepted this sacrifice of Christ of Himself for us, as full perfect, and accepted sacrifice for sin at all times? Or, do you still engage in other secret sacrifices to support it? Jesus is the Way to the Most Holy Place that the first tabernacle could not reveal. He says: “I am the Way… No one comes to the Father except through me” (Jn 14:6). Come to Him and through Him to the Father and you will be set free from all acts
that lead to death and enabled to serve the Living God.

Prayer: Thank you Father for my full, and perfect redemption in Jesus Christ.
