Deuteronomy 6:1-7:11; Ecclesiastes 8:1-9:10; Luke 8:22-39
Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, By a new and living way…through the veil, that is to say, his flesh… Hebrews 10:19-20
In contrast to Israel, we now can enter into the presence of God via the new and living way which our Lord has consecrated for us by the sacrifice of Himself and the shedding of His precious blood. The temple veil has rent in two (Matt. 27:51) signifying the way into the holiest is open (cf. Heb. 9:8). Let us now therefore draw near with full assurance of faith unto God to seek help in time of need (Heb. 10:22; 4:16). —K.C. Ung
Draw me nearer, nearer blessèd Lord,
To the cross where Thou hast died.
Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer blessèd Lord,
To Thy precious, bleeding side. —Fanny Crosby
