Christ –
By Your blood, we have confidence to enter the sanctuary.
By Your blood…through Your flesh…the new and living way opens for us.
With our hearts sprinkled clean and our bodies washed, may we approach God’s house with a true heart in full assurance of faith. Trusting You are faithful to Your promises, may we hold fast to the confession of our hope without wavering.
We see the Day approaching. Let us meet…encourage one another…and provoke one another to love and good deeds.
In the name of our Great Priest, we pray.
Amen.
