SPIRITUAL
DIARY FOR 2-17-03
My
Worship Time Focus: Jesus Christ offered
a superior sacrifice.
Bible
Reading & Meditation Reference: Hebrews 5:3
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.
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.
