Day 25: October 1, 2025 – Leviticus 5-8 and Hebrews 3-4

In Leviticus we have the instructions on how the priests are to make the sacrifices happen that are presented by the people because of their sin. It then moves into a 7 day period of ordination and how the priest is to be ordained to begin all of this. In Hebrews we have some of the most consequential verses of this book of the Bible. I want you to look at 4:12-13 where we see that the Word of God is sharper than any two edged sword. That is certainly one aspect of our understanding of God’s word that we hang onto and that we consider to be crucial in our faith and in our walk with the Lord. While we may be able to deceive people and that deception may never be found out, we cannot deceive the Word of God which will eventually, maybe not in this life time, but eventually, will come to light. As a result we cannot trust that all things will come to light during our time on this earth, but eventually. Hopefully that will be enough to make a change and redirect the lives of people on this earth.

In a similar fashion look at 4:14-16 where we have our favorite verse that Jesus lived through and went through everything that we went through, but with the all important caveat of not sinning, and so as a result we have one with whom we can not only relate but know that he knows us intimately and completely. The author says that as a result of this quality of Jesus was can approach the throne with boldness, we can approach God without fear, but also be showered with a grace of mercy that far exceed anything that we can give to each other. God is able and we find that clearly because he became one of us. This is a nod back to John 1 where we read that the Word became flesh and dwelt among us. This concept in John is tied together by these verses.
