What would change in your life if you truly believed the barrier between you and God was gone?
Hebrews 8 invites us into this transformative reality. Through vivid storytelling and meditative scripture reading, we journey alongside an ancient scribe whose quill records words that would forever change humanity's relationship with God. This isn't merely theological doctrine—it's revolutionary good news that reshapes how we approach the divine.
The chapter unfolds with a powerful declaration: we have a high priest seated at God's right hand. Jesus serves not in earthly sacred spaces, but in the true heavenly sanctuary as the mediator of a better covenant. The old system—with its priests, sacrifices, and tabernacle—was only a shadow pointing to something greater. That greater reality has arrived through Christ.
God's words echo through time: "I will put my laws in their minds and write them on their hearts... I will be their God and they shall be my people." The divine is no longer distant, locked behind veils and accessible only through intermediaries. Through Jesus, God draws near, writing his covenant directly on human hearts. Perhaps most beautiful is his promise of complete forgiveness: "I will remember their sins no more."
Are you living as though the veil still separates you from God? Do you carry the weight of performing, proving, wondering if you've done enough? This meditation invites you to release what disqualifies you, lean into what secures you, and rest in the living reality that you have a high priest who intercedes for you forever. He's not going anywhere.
