Scripture: Hebrews 10:19-22

Hebrews 10:19-22 (NIV) beckons us into the presence of God with words that stir the soul: “Therefore, brothers and sisters, since we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way opened for us through the curtain, that is, his body, and since we have a great priest over the house of God, let us draw near to God with a sincere heart and with the full assurance that faith brings, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water.

“In these verses, we are invited to approach God with boldness and confidence, not because of anything we have done, but because of the perfect sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Through His shed blood, a new and living way has been opened for us, tearing down the barrier that once separated us from God’s presence.

One cross-reference that echoes the message of Hebrews 10:19-22 is Ephesians 2:18 (NIV), which declares, “For through him we both have access to the Father by one Spirit.” This passage emphasizes the access we have to God the Father through Jesus Christ, made possible by the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit.

Consider the awe-inspiring privilege of being able to enter into the Most Holy Place—the very presence of Almighty God—through the blood of Jesus Christ. It is a gift beyond measure, granted to us by God’s grace and mercy.

As we reflect on Hebrews 10:19-22, let us approach God with hearts full of gratitude and reverence. May we never take for granted the privilege of intimate communion with our Heavenly Father, made possible through the sacrifice of His Son, Jesus Christ.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, we thank You for the gift of access to Your presence through the blood of Jesus Christ. Help us to approach You with boldness and confidence, knowing that we are cleansed from all sin and welcomed into Your embrace. May we draw near to You with sincere hearts, filled with gratitude and love. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
