Good morning. As today is Ash Wednesday and Valentine's Day, I wanted to share this passage of scripture from Hebrews 9 with you as a reminder of the fact that you are loved by the creator of the universe, so much that He gave His life for you in order to have a relationship with you that has no barriers. Happy Valentines Day and Ash Wednesday too!!!
But when Christ appeared as a high priest of the good things having come, He entered through the greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made by hands, that is, not of this creation; and not through the blood of goats and calves, but through His own blood, He entered the holy place once for all time, having obtained eternal redemption. For if the blood of goats and bulls, and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling those who have been defiled, sanctify for the cleansing of the flesh, how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without blemish to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? For this reason He is the mediator of a new covenant, so that, since a death has taken place for the redemption of the violations that were committed under the first covenant, those who have been called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance. - Hebrews 9:11-15
