Read Leviticus 1, Acts 15:1-18 “and he made no distinction between them and us, cleansing their hearts by faith.”‭‭Acts‬ ‭15‬:‭9‬ ‭NET‬‬ Grace for those under the law, grace for the Gentiles so the tent of David, can be rebuilt, an eternal throne. “In that day I will rebuild the collapsing hut of David. I will seal its gaps, repair its ruins, and restore it to what it was like in days gone by.” Amos 9:11 NET Hebrews 4:16 NASB Therefore let us draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace…

Read Exodus 40, Hebrews 7:15-28 Jesus has been interceding and serving as high priest for every generation–the time of the apostles, the dark ages, the reformation, the years of expansion and the revolution of America, the great wars, and the great depression, to the years you and I were born. Now, CONSIDER how much wisdom and perspective he offers us.Nothing he does is out of date, there is no expiration on the fresh work of the cross, Jesus the indestructible serves perpetually in absolute perfection constantly making us righteous.He is able to serve the generations after us as well.We trust…

Read Exodus 39, Hebrews 7:1-14 Moses blessed them having seen all the work they did. (Ex. 39:43)Melchizedek with bread and wine blessed Abraham after he returns from his battle with the kings of the East. (Gen. 14:18)Jesus Christ is our is “High priest forever in the order of Melchizedek” (Heb. 7:17, Jn.6:35,56)Jesus also blessed and gave the covenant meal of bread and wine. His blessings are found in the sermon on the mount (Matt. 5:3-11), and in physically blessing children and babies (Mark 10:13 NLT) to Christ’s final prayer in the gospel of Luke lifting his hands and blessing the…

Read Exodus 22, Acts 22:30, Acts 23:1-11 Courage is called for! Courage to follow God’s law for the Israelites and courage for Paul to testify about Jesus. We too must act courageously. Where do you need courage? Ask for it in prayer.“The following night the Lord stood near Paul and said, “Have courage, for just as you have testified about me in Jerusalem, so you must also testify in Rome.””‭‭Acts‬ ‭23‬:‭11‬ ‭NET‬‬ Consider Rev 21:8AMP But as for the cowards and unbelieving and abominable [who are devoid of character and personal integrity and practice or tolerate immorality], and murderers, and…

Read Exodus 21, Luke 18:31-43 I’ve been fascinated with Jesus. Here we are half way through the 40 days of Lent and the churches are focused on the emphasis of Jesus teachings and life. The biblical exactness and emphasis on the perfection of Christ can’t be overlooked. Consider the awe of how Jesus not only fulfills the law (Matthew 5:17–18) but “everything that is written about the Son of Man by the prophets will be accomplished… he will be delivered over to the Gentiles and mocked.” (Luke 18:31-32) Jesus knows where this is all heading and, he is still here for…

Read Exodus 19-20, Luke 18:15-30 “The Lord said to Moses, “I am going to come to you in a dense cloud, so that the people may hear when I speak with you and so that they will always believe in you.” And Moses told the words of the people to the Lord.”‭‭Exodus‬ ‭19‬:‭9‬ ‭NET‬‬ So they will believe.And they did.Jesus Moses and Elijah in Matthew 17:5 have the same cloud type presence and the disciples hear God’s voice. So we will always believe.And understand Jesus is the son of man and the son of God. We can trust him.

Read Exodus 16, 2 Corinthians 8:1-15 Manna is given in order that God may prove to them where their trust really lies. Will they be tempted to gather more manna than their daily need? In the Lord’s prayer Jesus taught us to pray, “give us this day, our daily bread” and each day we will have to trust God all over again. Come on church, our trust is never misplaced. The grace to give out of affliction, the NET calls it a severe ordeal of suffering, yet even in the suffering God imparts a new grace. They not only trusted…
