Today's reading will comes to us from Matthew Chapters 27:39-54, Mark Chapters 15:29-39, Luke Chapter 22:35-48 and John Chapter 19:25-30.
Today we will read about Jesus' choice not to save himself from death but rather He chose to save US by atoning for our sins so that we would become One with Him, God, and each other. He truly is our Good Shepherd who laid down His life for us. We will also read about the veil being torn in the temple that kept God's Holy and sinless presence separated from our sinfulness in the Most Holy Place in the temple.
In our discussion for daily application we will talk about not taking for granted this incredible gifts that Jesus has given us- not just the gift of atonement for our sins, but the gift of access to God, which is a far different relationship with God than what was experienced with the Old Covenant. We are now under God's New Covenant, made with Jesus' atoning blood, so that now we have been given God's Holy Spirit to be in us. We are now One with Jesus and God AND one another! We have truly becoming united, not to mention the gifts of having God's Law written on our hearts and eternal life with God and Jesus! You and I never experienced the Old Covenant. We have only ever known the New Covenant, so we want to be sure that we don't take these incredible gifts for granted. There are still those living under the Old Covenant. We need to share the news with our Jewish brothers and sisters that they, too, can experience God's permanent atonement by accepting Jesus as the Messiah, who paid this price for all of us!
