December 18, 2014 – Smriti "Simmi" D. Isaac

“Now that we know what we have—Jesus, this great High Priest with ready access to God—let’s not let it slip through our fingers. We don’t have a priest who is out of touch with our reality. He’s been through weakness and testing, experienced it all—all but the sin. So let’s walk right up to him and get what he is so ready to give. Take the mercy, accept the help.”

Hebrews 4:16 MSG – A verse of the day from the Bible presented in Eugene Peterson’s contemporary version called The Message. Accompanied by a personal reflection below.

Whatever you’re going through, however you’re feeling, whatever you think you are experiencing — take heart in the knowledge that Jesus “this great High Priest with ready access to God” has already been there before you. Do you believe it? If you do, step up to accept the help that is there for the asking.
