Daily Bible Reading – July 2021, God’s Word of FaithSample

July 2

Introduction

God gave Moses the plans for building the first Sacred Tent (Exodus 25:1—27:21). Israel’s priests offered sacrifices at this tent and later at the Temple. Jesus has now been given priestly work and has arranged a better covenant between God and his people.

Today’s Scripture Reading 

Hebrews 8:1-13

Today’s Key Verse:  Hebrews 8:1b

"We have such a High Priest, who sits at the right of the throne of the Divine Majesty in heaven."

Reflect

Verses 8-12 are quoted from Jeremiah 31:31-34. How is this new covenant described?  According to verse 6, the covenant Jesus has arranged is based on promises of better things. What is your understanding of these promises and what do they mean to you?

Pray

Everlasting God, through Christ our Lord you welcome everyone into your holy and sacred presence. Help me to extend your welcome to others by sharing the Good News of your Son, Jesus Christ. Amen.
