DAY 3 • READ HEBREWS 8:9:<br />
“This covenant will not be like the one I made with their ancestors<br />
when I took them by the hand and led them out of the land of Egypt.<br />
They did not remain faithful to my covenant, so I turned my back on<br />
them,” says the LORD.<br />
RESPOND:<br />
God was faithful to the covenant, but His people were not. In what<br />
ways do you tend to be like the children of Israel, struggle to remain<br />
faithful?<br />
DAY 5 • READ HEBREWS 8:11-12:<br />
“And they will not need to teach their neighbors, nor will they need to<br />
teach their relatives, saying, ‘You should know the LORD.’ For everyone,<br />
from the least to the greatest, will know me already. And I will forgive<br />
their wickedness, and I will never again remember their sins.”<br />
RESPOND:<br />
What promises does this verse make? (You may want to look at the<br />
entire passage that the writer of Hebrews is quoting here, which is<br />
found in Jeremiah 31).<br />
DAY 4 • READ HEBREWS 8:10:<br />
“But this is the new covenant I will make with the people of Israel on<br />
that day, says the LORD: I will put my laws in their minds, and I will<br />
write them on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my<br />
people.”<br />
RESPOND:<br />
What longings does God express in this verse? What surprises you<br />
about the idea of God longing for you?<br />
DAY 6 • READ HEBREWS 8:13:<br />
When God speaks of a “new” covenant, it means he has made the<br />
first one obsolete. It is now out of date and will soon disappear.<br />
RESPOND:<br />
Why is the old covenant obsolete? How was Christ’s sacrifice on<br />
the cross different from the old covenant’s system of sacrifices of<br />
animals?
