Hebrews 5; John 8; Hebrews 5 & 6

Lord Jesus, you are my great high priest. You have passed through the heavens. I confess with joy that you are the son of God. You were tempted in all ways as I was, and yet were without sin. You are able to empathize with me and my weak past.

Now, though, through and by and with you, Lord Jesus, I am able to come, boldly to the throne of grace, and there I receive mercy and find grace to help in all my needs.

Lord Jesus, you are the author of my salvation. You learned obedience through the things you suffered. Now, with you as my high priest, and my very life, I prove my obedience in the things I suffer.

I continue diligently in your word, Lord. I am your disciple. I know the truth, and you have set me free. I feed on your solid food. I am of full age. By your word and indwelling Holy Spirit, my senses are exercised to discern both good and evil. With you, Lord Jesus, in peace and sure hope, I go on to perfection.
