Week 51 Day 1: Faithful to Promise ⇧ ⇩
Question
Why is Jesus’ one sacrifice the sacrifice for all sins forever?
Scripture Reading
Meditation: God’s Story
-
The sacrifices done in the first covenant weren’t perfect. Jesus’ sacrifice with his own blood is the eternal redemption.
-
Only by the perfect redemption from Jesus, we may be set free from the sins committed under the first covenant.
-
God’s plan of salvation was already written in the scriptures and can only be accomplished by His own will.
-
Christ’s perfect offering for our sins replaces and surpasses the offerings in the first covenant.
Meditation: My Story
- Identity - By Jesus Christ’s sin offering, God no longer remembers the wickedness and sins of all Christians. Am I being grateful to God’s grace? Am I living a life like Christ’s which is free from the bondage of the law?

-
Jesus’ sacrifice removed the curtain to the Most Holy Place so that we may come near God at any time.

Our faith grows to win over the confusion and doubt through Jesus Christ; We are capable of encouraging each other through Jesus Christ; We are able to worship together through Jesus Christ.

Do not stop meeting together; even when being persecuted and suffering.

God will judge those who refuse His grace.

Do not throw away our confidence; we will be richly rewarded.

Week 51 Day 3: People of Faith ⇧ ⇩
Question
Where does faith come from?
Scripture Reading
Meditation: God’s Story
-
Faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.
-
It is impossible to please God without faith because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.
-
The universe was formed at God’s command and His word shall make us fear Him.
-
All these people of faith were still living by faith when they died. They did not receive the things promised; they only saw them and welcomed them from a distance, admitting that they were foreigners and strangers on earth.
Meditation: My Story
- Integrity - Do I keep faith in God when facing difficulties? What have I learned from these people of faith?
Prayer

Week 51 Day 4: The Lord's Discipline ⇧ ⇩
Question
What should our attitude toward God’s discipline be?
Scripture Reading
Meditation: God’s Story
-
God disciplines all His children.
-
Our human fathers disciplined us for a little while as they thought best; but God disciplines us for our good, in order that we may share in his holiness.
-
Make every effort to live in peace with everyone and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord.
-
Since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe, for our “God is a consuming fire.”
Meditation: My Story
-
Community - God wants us to make every effort to live in peace with everyone and to be holy. Am I able to live in peace with others so that God is glorified?

Christians ought to keep on loving one another as brothers and sisters. Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers. Keep our lives free from the love of money.
-
We ought to help and take care willingly those who are in prison.
-
We shall entrust ourselves to God with faith because He will not leave us and will never forsake us.
-
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
-
God redeems us, equips us with everything good for doing His will, and He works in us what is pleasing to Him, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory for ever and ever.
Meditation: My Story
- Community - Bible teaches us to love one another as brothers and sisters. Am I filled with love in my life with my Christian brothers and sisters? Am I helping them to bear the sufferings that they might have?

Week 51 Day 6: Prayer of Hannah ⇧ ⇩
Question
How did Hannah find peace from her prayer?
Scripture Reading
Meditation: God’s Story
-
Hannah was provoked and irritated by her husband’s other wife, Peninnah, due to her infertility. Peninnah would provoke Hannah even more each year during the family’s annual sacrifice in Shiloh.
-
Hannah prayed in front of the Lord, for a son to give to the Lord.
-
Eli the priest told Hannah to go in peace and her face was no longer downcast. Through her prayer, the Lord remembered Hannah and gave her a son named Samuel. When he had weaned, Hannah brought Samuel to Eli to dedicate him to the Lord as she had promised in her prayer. Hannah gave thanks and praised the Lord.
Meditation: My Story
-
Walking with God - Hannah was no longer downcast and ate right after she had prayed. What relieved Hannah of the sorrow that got piled up after all those years? Am I being sorrowful? Is it because I never let go of my sorrow even after I have prayed to God? What did Hannah really ask for in her prayer? What does it remind me about my prayer?
-
Walking with God - What did Hannah do after God had answered her prayer? What did I do after God had answered my prayer? Hannah gave her son away not long after she gave birth to him, but she happily thanked and praised the Lord. What caused her for doing so? What should the focus of my prayer be?
