Hebrews 10:32-39 For you had compassion on those in prison, and you joyfully accepted the plundering of your property… (v. 34a) My first reading of the day is from the NKJV Chronological Study Bible. Therein this verse reads “on me in my chains” instead of “on those in prison” (ESV) or “on prisoners” (NASB). So …

December 3 / Hebrews 10:26-31
Hebrews 10:26-31 A scary section today… For if we go on sinning deliberately after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins … How much worse punishment, do you think, will be deserved by the one who has trampled underfoot the Son of God, and has profaned the blood …
December 2 / Hebrews 10:19-25
Hebrews 10:19-25 Some really great material today… The author of Hebrews has argued for Jesus’ high priesthood, so now he tells us that we …have confidence to enter the holy places by the blood of Jesus (v. 19) and that we …have a great priest over the house of God. (v. 21) He then provides …
December 1 / Hebrews 10:11-18
Hebrews 10:11-18 But when Christ had offered for all time a single sacrifice for sins, He sat down at the right hand of God, waiting from that time until his enemies should be made a footstool for his feet. (vv. 12-13) I have probably noticed it in times past, but saw it again this time: …

November 30 / Hebrews 10:1-10
Hebrews 10:1-10 I’m going to re-write (with some edits) the first four verses, in 1-3-4-2 order: … the Law…, by the same sacrifices that are continually offered every year, can never make perfect those who draw near. But in these sacrifices there is a reminder of sins every year. For it is impossible for the …
November 29 / Hebrews 9:23-28
Hebrews 9:23-28 Another oft-quoted verse: And just as it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment… (v. 28) The quote typically begins with “…it is…” or some variant thereto. Thus it was necessary for the copies of the heavenly things to be purified with these rites, but the heavenly things …
November 28 / Hebrews 9:15-22
Hebrews 9:15-22 A timeless, oft-quoted verse: …without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins. (v. 22b) Something new hit me when I read this morning’s passage in my NASB translation: …a death has taken place for the redemption of the violations that were committed under the first covenant… (v. 15b) Jesus is …
November 27 / Hebrews 9:11-14
Hebrews 9:11-14 It’s only a few verses today, but they’re powerful! The “not” words jumped off the page at me, all appearing in one sentence: [Christ] … entered through the greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made by hands, that is, not of this creation; and not through the blood of goats and calves… (vv. …
November 26 / Hebrews 9:1-10
Hebrews 9:1-10 Happy Thanksgiving, y’all!! By this the Holy Spirit indicates that the way into the holy places is not yet opened as long as the first section is still standing, which is symbolic for the present age). According to this arrangement, gifts and sacrifices are offered that cannot perfect the conscience of the worshiper… …
