Daily Bible Reading, January 2023 - God’s Saving Word: Unity in Christ JesusPrzykład

January 5 Introduction Today’s reading cites two priests mentioned in the Old Testament—Melchizedek (Genesis 14:17-20) and Aaron (Exodus 28 and 29). God made Jesus the High Priest who “became the source of eternal salvation for all those who obey him” (5:9). Believers are encouraged to approach God’s throne of grace and mercy with confidence. Scripture Reading Hebrews 4:14—5:10 Today’s Key Verse: Hebrews 4:14b For we have a great High Priest who has gone into the very presence of God—Jesus, the Son of God. Reflect How is Jesus described in verse 4:15? What does this verse teach you about Jesus? Where in your life do you encounter temptation? What does knowing that Jesus can empathize with your experience mean to you? Pray Lord Jesus, you are my great High Priest. In the face of temptation, you have taught me to remain faithful to your Word. Strengthen me against the temptations in my life so that I may live as your true disciple. Amen. Tomorrow’s Reading Matthew 2:1-12: Visitors from the East worship the infant Jesus.
