Day 314: Jeremiah 51-52; Hebrews 6
by Jonathan Merki on November 9th, 2023
Think on these things:So God has given both his promise and his oath. These two things are unchangeable because it is impossible for God to lie. Therefore, we who have fled to him for refuge can have great confidence as we hold to the hope that lies before us. This hope is a strong and trustworthy anchor for our souls. It leads us through the curtain into God’s inner sanctuary. Jesus has already ... Read More

Day 313: Jeremiah 49-50; Hebrews 5
by Jonathan Merki on November 8th, 2023
"It was easy for Jesus. After all, He was/is God." Have you ever heard that said? Perhaps you have at least thought it, if you have not spoken it. Though the letter to the Hebrews focuses on who Christ is in totality, the writer reminds us of Jesus' total identification with us. He, God, became a man and walked in our experience (Hebrews 2:14-18; 4:15). These remind us that the extent of His human... Read More

Day 312: Jeremiah 46-48; Hebrews 4
by Jonathan Merki on November 7th, 2023
Having reminded readers of the living power of the Word, its penetrating ability to judge in truth at the inspiration of its Author, rather than demand undying loyalty and unwavering obedience (which it could in every measure), the inspired writer speaks God's invitation (Hebrews 4:12-16). We have a Mediator, a High Priest, Who has made a way to live by the Word. He has shown us how. Now, for thos... Read More

Day 311: Jeremiah 44-45; Hebrews 3
by Jonathan Merki on November 6th, 2023
Remember Baruch? He was faithful to Jeremiah, faithful to God. In the midst of all the nasty opposition to God's Word and way, in the personal attack of Jeremiah, he was there rewriting scrolls and delivering prophetic messages to hateful people. He suffered because of his faithfulness to Jeremiah and God. He was ultimately taken off into captivity. No one's ideal, that is for certain. Perhaps eve... Read More

Day 310: Jeremiah 41-43; Hebrews 2
by Jonathan Merki on November 5th, 2023
How strange human nature can be. The leaders of the rebellion against the rebellion (Jeremiah 42) come to Jeremiah to ask for God's direction. They are representative of all people who pray with one answer in mind...it's their way or the highway. When God tells them to do what they do not want to do, they reject the answer. More than that, they call the mediator, Jeremiah, a liar...in essence, the... Read More

Day 309: Jeremiah 38-40; Hebrews 1
by Jonathan Merki on November 4th, 2023
"The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact expression of his nature, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After making purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high." (Hebrews 1:3, CSB)There are moments when we must simply pause and reflect. Who is Jesus? What has Jesus done? For us? Where is He now? What does that mean? How, then, should I live? In ... Read More
