July 14

Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus...let us draw near to God with a sincere heart in the full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water.

Hebrews 10:19,22

The High Priest used to tie a rope around his waist for the simple reason that he might die once he stood before God in the Most Holy Place. Is there anything more radical than the idea that we can now approach the most Holy of Holies without fear? When Jesus poured out his blood the inaccessible became the all accessible. Go therefore, enter without fear and draw close to the one who loves you. Amen.
