God sprinkles our hearts to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and our bodies washed so that we may live a life of purity. Through the blood of Jesus, we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place and approach God with boldness and assurance because of Jesus' sacrifice. Let us draw near to God with a sincere heart and full assurance of faith.
Let us hold with steadfast might,
To the hope that shines so bright.
For in His promise, we confide,
With unwavering faith, we abide.
He who made the promise true,
Is trustworthy in all He'll do.
In every trial, through every storm,
His faithfulness will keep us warm.
With hearts united, we proclaim,
The hope we have in His great name.
For He is faithful, ever near,
In His love, we have no fear.
Lord Jesus,
You are our hope and our strength, In Your promises, we find our faith. Help us to hold unwaveringly to our confession, For You are trustworthy and true.
Guide us in our journey, Strengthen our hearts with Your love. May we always trust in Your word, And find peace in Your grace.
Amen.

IV: Jesus' Eternal Priesthood and Eternal Sacrifice
ONE SACRIFICE INSTEAD OF MANY
Hebrews 10:1-39
First Reading | Hebrews 10:19-25
19 Brothers and sisters: Since through the Blood of Jesus we have confidence of entrance into the sanctuary 20 by the new and living way he opened for us through the veil, that is, his flesh, 21 and since we have “a great priest over the house of God,” 22 let us approach with a sincere heart and in absolute trust, with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed in pure water. 23 Let us hold unwaveringly to our confession that gives us hope, for he who made the promise is trustworthy. 24 We must consider how to rouse one another to love and good works. 25 We should not stay away from our assembly, as is the custom of some, but encourage one another, and this all the more as you see the day drawing near.
