Kingdom Foreshadowed Part 12 Devotionals - Keys Vineyard Church

Day 1: Understanding God’s Heart

Devotional Leviticus is a fascinating book, so let’s put it in context before we hop in there. God’s heart was a heaven and earth connection. Eden was a cosmic temple where God and humanity dwelled together in perfect harmony. This connection was broken by sin, but God’s desire to be near His people never changed. Leviticus outlines the steps the Israelites needed to take to live near the presence of God. Today, we can reflect on God’s unwavering desire to be close to us and how He has made a way for that through Jesus.

Bible Verse Leviticus 16:2 – ‘The Lord said to Moses: Tell your brother Aaron that he is not to come whenever he chooses into the Most Holy Place behind the curtain in front of the atonement cover on the ark, or else he will die. For I will appear in the cloud over the atonement cover.’

Reflection Question How does knowing that God desires to be close to you change the way you approach Him in your daily life?

Prayer Lord, thank You for Your desire to be close to us. Help us to understand Your heart and to seek Your presence daily. Amen.

Day 2: Jesus, Our Ultimate High Priest

Devotional Leviticus is all about what the people need to do in order to live near the presence of God. However, Jesus is the ultimate high priest who gives us access to God. Unlike the high priests of the Old Testament who had to offer sacrifices repeatedly, Jesus’ sacrifice was once and for all. He fulfills all the Levitical requirements, making it possible for us to approach God with confidence and humility.

Bible Verse Hebrews 10:12 – ‘But when this priest had offered for all time one sacrifice for sins, he sat down at the right hand of God.’

Reflection Question In what ways can you approach God with more confidence, knowing that Jesus has already made the ultimate sacrifice for you?

Prayer Jesus, thank You for being our ultimate high priest and for giving us access to God. Help us to approach You with humility and confidence. Amen.

Day 3: The Ultimate Sacrifice

Devotional Jesus is then the ultimate sacrifice, and He also fulfills the holy days. His sacrifice purifies us and makes us clean, allowing us to live in the presence of God. By understanding these connections, believers are invited to meditate on Jesus’ sacrifice, approach God with humility, and live a life of purity. Jesus’ role as the ultimate high priest and the perfect sacrifice negates the need for repeated offerings, providing eternal access to God.

Bible Verse Hebrews 10:14 – ‘For by one sacrifice he has made perfect forever those who are being made holy.’

Reflection Question How can you incorporate the meditation on Jesus’ sacrifice into your daily routine?

Prayer Lord, thank You for Jesus’ ultimate sacrifice that purifies us and makes us clean. Help us to live a life of purity and to meditate on His sacrifice daily. Amen.

Day 4: Living a Life of Purity

Devotional Jesus purifies you. He makes you clean. This purification allows us to live a life of purity, free from the bondage of sin. Jesus’ sacrifice takes away our sin, and His blood atones for us, giving us access once again to the most holy place. As we live our lives, we are called to reflect this purity in our actions, thoughts, and relationships.

Bible Verse Leviticus 16:30 – ‘Because on this day atonement will be made for you, to cleanse you. Then, before the Lord, you will be clean from all your sins.’

Reflection Question What steps can you take today to live a life of purity in your actions, thoughts, and relationships?

Prayer Jesus, thank You for purifying us and making us clean. Help us to live a life of purity and to reflect Your love in all that we do. Amen.

Day 5: Eternal Access to God

Devotional Jesus has made perfect forever those who are being made holy. His role as the ultimate high priest and the perfect sacrifice negates the need for repeated offerings, providing eternal access to God. Jesus’ sacrifice takes away our sin, and His blood atones for us, giving us access once again to the most holy place. We can now approach God with confidence, knowing that Jesus has made a way back for us.

Bible Verse Hebrews 10:10 – ‘And by that will, we have been made holy through the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.’

Reflection Question How does knowing that you have eternal access to God through Jesus’ sacrifice impact your relationship with Him?

Prayer Lord, thank You for the eternal access to You through Jesus’ sacrifice. Help us to approach You with confidence and to live in the freedom that comes from being made holy. Amen.
