Draw Near

Hebrews 5,6,&7

Lord Jesus, God, our father, has called you and begotten you, as his son and as a priest forever, according to the order of Melchizedek. Though you are our father’s only begotten son, yet you learned obedience by the things you suffered.

You were perfect and perfected, and now, you are the author of eternal salvation for me, and for all who obey you.

I am filled with your Holy Spirit. I am diligent to enjoy and to hold onto the hope you give me, through your promises of divine eternal blessing. This hope I have is like an anchor for my soul. It is sure and steadfast. It holds me in the presence of God, our father, no longer separated by the veil of flesh.

All this is because you, Lord Jesus, are now my great high priest. The former commands are annulled, because they were weak and unprofitable, because the law made nothing perfect. But now, in you, Lord Jesus, I have a better, perfect hope, and through you, I draw near to God, my father.

You, Lord Jesus, are the surety of a better covenant. Thank you, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost!
