Therefore He is able also to save forever
those who draw near to God through Him, since He always lives to make
intercession for them. For it was fitting for us to have such a high priest,
holy, innocent, undefiled, separated from sinners and exalted above the
heavens; who does not need daily, like those high priests, to offer up
sacrifices, first for His own sins and then for the sins of the people, because
this He did once for all when He offered up Himself. Hebrews 7:25-27
NASB

| May Peace be found in Jerusalem...in your heart and home. |
December 8, 1989 was a day that changed my
family’s life, as that was the day my sister, Shirley, her husband, Bob, and
her two daughters, Vicki and Anne, were killed by her ex-husband. A senseless
act by a selfish man. The ultimate domestic violence. Twenty-seven years. It seems like it was yesterday. It seems like it
was hundreds of years ago.
These verses in the book of Hebrews were
the only verses I found marked in her new NASB Bible, with the words
“completely, entirely.” I’ve been using that Bible for the last twenty-seven
years. Shirley was a devout believer in Jesus as her Savior. She knew that He is able to save forever and that
Jesus was pure, innocent and undefiled—the perfect sacrifice for our lives. I
will see her one day in Heaven. There will be peace in the new Jerusalem. We will rejoice and worship God Almighty and
Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God, together at their throne. No longer will there be a curse upon anything. For the throne of God
and of the Lamb will be there, and His servants will worship Him.
Revelation 22:3. Will you worship and find peace with us in the new Jerusalem?
Prayer
~ Lord Jesus, I am completely and entirely grateful for Your purity—so that You
could be our sacrifice—our ultimate sacrifice. Thank you for interceding for
me. I am pleased that the Father Almighty had such a brilliant plan—and that
You were able to be part of it…forever.
