SPIRITUAL
DIARY
Date: 2-17-03
My
Worship Time Focus: Jesus Christ offered
a superior sacrifice.
Bible
Reading & Meditation Reference: Hebrews 5:3
1. Message of the verse: “and because of it he is obligated to offer
sacrifices for sins, as for the people, so also for himself.” (NASB)
“Because of this he is required as for the people, so also for himself,
to offer sacrifices for sins.”
(NKJV) “That is why he has to
offer sacrifices, both for their sins and for his own sins.” (NLT)
Verse
three describes the OT priest and the sacrifice that he offered on the Day of
Atonement. The OT priest had to first
offer a sacrifice for himself and then for the nation of Israel. When Jesus Christ offered Himself for our
sins He did not have to offer as sacrifice for Himself because He was in
complete fellowship with His Heavenly Father.
Therefore He offered a superior sacrifice.
2. Spiritual meaning for my life today: I am so blessed by God because Jesus Christ
offered a superior sacrifice for my sins and because of this I am His child
forever. Because of this truth I am to
offer by body as a living sacrifice to the Lord which is my reasonable act of
worship to Him.
The Word of God was challenging to me today and it was also
very refreshing to me.
My
Steps of Faith Today: To
offer myself as a living sacrifice to the Lord today. To trust the Lord to get Tim and Kim safely
back home as they travel today.
Memory verse for the week:
Colossians 4:5
Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders; make the most
of every opportunity.
