For on the one hand, a former commandment is set aside because of its weakness and uselessness (for the law made nothing perfect); but on the other hand, a better hope is introduced, through which we draw near to God. And it was not without an oath. For those who formerly became priests were made such without an oath, but this one was made a priest with an oath by the one who said to him: “The Lord has sworn and will not change his mind, ‘You are a priest forever.’” This makes Jesus the guarantor of a better covenant. The former priests were many in number, because they were prevented by death from continuing in office, but he holds his priesthood permanently, because he continues forever. Consequently, he is able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God through him, since he always lives to make intercession for them. For it was indeed fitting that we should have such a high priest, holy, innocent, unstained, separated from sinners, and exalted above the heavens. He has no need, like those high priests, to offer sacrifices daily, first for his own sins and then for those of the people, since he did this once for all when he offered up himself. For the law appoints men in their weakness as high priests, but the word of the oath, which came later than the law, appoints a Son who has been made perfect forever.

Modern Christianity suggests countless ways you can earn your position before God. Some are deep-rooted in history. Some are esteemed by celebrated leaders. But is knowing God really that complicated an endeavor? In this 5-day reading plan by Pete Briscoe, you’ll discover there is a better way—a true way—to gain access to God.
Sometimes, working to finish well and get real closure on a chapter of life is incredibly difficult, but when we ignore the need to do so, we live with a pile of unfinished beginnings. But finished things become usable things because it is in conclusions that we see God's grace and faithfulness most clearly. For those who need fresh eyes to see, this is for you.
