God has placed us where we live in order for us to make Jesus known. We are called to be the hands and feet of Jesus wherever we go.

Hebrews 12 teaches us that there is a very strong correlation between love and discipline. God loves us deeply; therefore, He disciplines us.

Not only are we saved by grace, through faith, but faith draws us near to God, it takes away the sting of death, and faith follows the absurd.

Since we have been given such great mercy and grace by our great High Priest, we should draw near to Jesus without fear. The best way to do that is by learning to do life together with fellow followers of Christ.

The system of dealing with sin in the Old Testament required constant sacrifices to pay for the sins of the people. That system couldn't remove sin permanently, so it required sacrifices to be made over and over again. Jesus, however, paid ALL of the debt we owed for our sins.
