My Daily Meditation
Today’s Reading
The Epistle to the Hebrews
Chapter 10:1-4
I am returning to our study, after taking a number of days off to reflect on many things that needed my attention. I ask forgiveness from you all for not being consistent during the last few days of the previous year, and the first real week of the new one.

Animal Sacrifices insufficient
1 For the law having the shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices, which they offer year by year continually, sanctify the comers thereunto. (a)
2 For would they not then have ceased to have been offered, because that the offerers once purged, should have had no more conscience of sins?
3 But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again of sins every year.
4 For it is impossible that the blood of bulls and goats should take away sins. (b)
(a) Editor’s thought - Re: vs 1 - The Levite priests could only purge sin by a yearly symbolic representation of things to come, things that were still unseen. They did not have the power to forgive it as opposed to the once and for all sacrifice of our Savior, whose death on the cross purged and forgave us of all unrighteousness.
(b) Editor’s notation - Read Micah 6:6-7
