July 12 – The Better Sacrifice

In today’s episode, Pastor Jenny Dirmann shares a devotion from Hebrews 9, where the author explains that the Old Testament tabernacle, priesthood, and sacrificial system were all copies and shadows pointing to a greater heavenly reality. While the high priest entered the earthly Holy of Holies year after year with the blood of sacrifices, Jesus entered the true heavenly sanctuary once and for all, offering Himself as the perfect sacrifice for sin. This message reminds listeners that Christ's work is complete and sufficient—His sacrifice never needs to be repeated because it fully accomplished what the old covenant could only foreshadow. Pastor Jenny also encourages believers to recognize that God faithfully leads His people step by step, often using previous seasons of growth to prepare them for greater understanding. Rather than looking back with resentment over what we did or did not know, we can thank God for His patient guidance and remain open to the fresh revelation He continues to bring through His Word. As we keep our eyes on Jesus, our perfect High Priest, we grow in both gratitude for what He has accomplished and confidence in the finished work of the cross.Today's Reading:July 12 – Isaiah 24–28; Hebrews 9
