Week of October 15, 2006 Hebrews 4:12-16
One of the Scriptures for Sunday is from Hebrews, chapter 4, verses 12 to 16 – a passage that reminds us of the oiwer of God’s word and some important promises for us:
12 For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.
13 Nothing in all creation is hidden from God's sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account.
14 Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has gone through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to the faith we profess.
15 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are-- yet was without sin.
16 Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.
Dear Jesus – the Living Word made flesh, that You that You are alive and always active in our lives. Your word has power because it is sharper than any double-edge sword. You can penetrate even to dividing my soul and spirit, my joints and marrow. You know me intimately, my inmost thoughts and attitudes of my heart. And I am judged. Nothing is hidden from You. Jesus, You are my High Priest, who has suffered, died and rose again.
And so I cling to Your cross, the cross of suffering, the cross of glory, the cross of power, because You know me and what I go through in life because You did the same. You were tempted in every way, and You were without sin.
Jesus, remind me often and always that we all can approach Your throne of grace with confidence, to be in Your presence, to receive mercy, to find grace to help us in our time of need, to receive the great peace that You give.
Thank You for Your love and mercy and grace and peace. Amen.
May the love of the Lord Jesus draw us to Himself;
May the power of the Lord Jesus strengthen us in His service;
May the joy of the Lord Jesus fill our souls;
May the fire of the Holy Spirit bring comfort, guidance and fervency;
And may the blessing of the almighty and most merciful God - Creator, Word and eternal Holy Spirit - be upon us and remain with us always.
In the name of the Father and of the Son of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
