Jesus -
By Your blood, we confidently enter the sanctuary.
By Your blood, the Lord remembers our sins no more.
By Your blood, a new and living way opens for us.
You are our great priest. Your flesh - the curtain between divinity and creation - ripped for us. You sprinkled our hearts clean and washed our bodies, so we may approach God with a true heart and a fully assured faith.
May we hold fast to the hope we confess. May we provoke one another to loving and good deeds. May we encourage one another to remember the laws the Lord placed in our hearts and wrote on our minds.
In the name of the One who finishes the work of reconciliation, we pray.
Amen.
