Wednesday 18th March ~ Hebrews 10.1‐18 ~ Hébreux 10.1-18

Jeremiah 18.13‐end ~ Jérémie 18.13- fin

Psalm 90 ~ Psaumes 90

John 10.11‐21 ~Jean 10.11-21


‘The law is only a shadow of the good things that are coming – not the

reality themselves.’ (Heb. 10:1)


Shadows are often very elusive. You can never really pin them down. They

can also look quite daunting, scary, and are often distorted. They are never

quite like the real thing... One can never really interact with shadows. This is

also true with the shadow of good things... the law with annual sacrifices and

offerings (vs. 1‐4)

But the real thing is different! It is approachable. You can see it and

understand it and experience it. Christ is now our real link to God. God did

not desire sacrifices and offerings but a living ‘sacrifice’ of love and

commitment to do His will – exactly what Christ offered (vs. 7). This was the

sacrifice that God accepted once and for all. Through Christ’s sacrifice, we

too now can present ourselves as living sacrifices, ready to do God’s will – and

that is acceptable! A promise has been made that when we accept Christ’s

way, God says, “...I will put my laws in their hearts, and I will write them on

their mind...their sins and lawless acts I will remember no more.” (vs. 16‐17).

What a wonderful promise! We are now not condemned but fully accepted

by God.
