Look back: Look back over Hebrews 10:5-10 and remember Christ’s willing, perfect, once-for-all sacrifice accomplished what the law never could—sanctifying us, satisfying God’s will, and giving lasting hope and peace to weak sinners.

Look ahead: This coming Sunday, we will be in Hebrews 10:11-12. Read the passage during the week with your family. 

Ask: How does the author of Hebrews contrast Jesus our great high priest with priests of the old covenant?

Pray: Praise God that Jesus' work of atonement was completed with his once-for-all sacrifice for sins.
