Prayer: Dear God, help us remember Jesus gave his life once for all – every part of his being – one time – for everyone…forever. Thank you. Amen
Reading: Hebrews 7: 23-28 (Click to read text) Stop and GROW: After reading the text, discuss/ponder the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America's Book of Faith questions, which are part of Camp Mount Luther's GROW Time with campers. QUESTION 1: What scares, confuses, challenges, or doesn’t make sense to me in this text? QUESTION 2: What delights me in this text or is my favorite part of the story? QUESTION 3: What stories or memories does this text stir in me? QUESTION 4: What is God up to in this text? Reflection: Wrapping my head around what is in these five verses is just a bit too much and yet the bottom-line message is “once for all”. That’s it. Once for all. So, perhaps I’ll stop trying to understand completely. That may come in time and that time comes one day at a time remembering Jesus gave his life one time. Every part of his being. Once. For me. For everyone. Forever. --Ruth Gates
