A READING FROM HEBREWS
…and since we have a great priest over the house of God, 22 let us approach with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. 23 Let us hold fast to the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who has promised is faithful.
MESSAGE IN A PARAGRAPH OR TWO
A man from a former church told me that he had no regrets. I don’t know how closely he thought about his long life. But I know that I can’t say the same thing. I suspect that most of us have a regret or two. But those of us who have faith in Jesus, also have faith that the blood he shed made us clean. We also can be assured that we have a place in the house of God.
We also live in a very troubled world. Sometimes it’s easy to wonder where God is. Remember that the house of God is eternal. The world in which we live is not. Therefore, Let us hold fast to the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who has promised is faithful.
