THE DAILY FOUNTAIN DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE OF THE CHURCH OF NIGERIA (ANGLICAN COMMUNION) DATE: WEDNESDAY, 30TH MARCH, 2022  TOPIC: JESUS CHRIST THE PERFECT SACRIFICE TEXT: HEBREWS 10:1-18 1. For the law, having a shadow of the good things to come, [and] not the very image of the things, can never with these same sacrifices, which they offer continually year by year, make those who approach perfect. 2. For then would they not have ceased to be offered? For the worshipers, once purified, would have had no more consciousness of sins. 3. But in those [sacrifices there is] a reminder of sins every year. 4. For [it is] not possible that the blood of bulls and goats could take away sins. 5.  Therefore, when He came into the world, He said: "Sacrifice and offering You did not desire, But a body You have prepared for Me. 6.  In burnt offerings and [sacrifices] for sin You had no pleasure. 7.  Then I said, 'Behold, I have come -- In the volume of the book it is written of Me --...

THE DAILY FOUNTAIN DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE OF THE CHURCH OF NIGERIA (ANGLICAN COMMUNION) DATE: TUESDAY, 29TH MARCH, 2022  TOPIC: JESUS CHRIST THE MEDIATOR OF THE NEW COVENANT TEXT: HEBREWS 9:15-28  15.  And for this reason He is the Mediator of the new covenant, by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions under the first covenant, that those who are called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance. 16.  For where there [is] a testament, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator. 17.  For a testament [is] in force after men are dead, since it has no power at all while the testator lives. 18.  Therefore not even the first [covenant] was dedicated without blood. 19.  For when Moses had spoken every precept to all the people according to the law, he took the blood of calves and goats, with water, scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book itself and all the people, 20.  saying, "This [is] the blood of...

Then indeed, even the first [covenant] had ordinances of divine service and the earthly sanctuary. 2. For a tabernacle was prepared: the first [part,] in which [was] the lampstand, the table, and the showbread, which is called the sanctuary; 3. and behind the second veil, the part of the tabernacle which is called the Holiest of All, 4. which had the golden censer and the ark of the covenant overlaid on all sides with gold, in which [were] the golden pot that had the manna, Aaron's rod that budded, and the tablets of the covenant; 5.  and above it were the cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy seat. Of these things we cannot now speak in detail. 6.  Now when these things had been thus prepared, the priests always went into the first part of the tabernacle, performing [the services...

And a man of the house of Levi went and took as wife a daughter of Levi.  2. So the woman conceived and bore a son. And when she saw that he was a beautiful child, she hid him three months.  3. But when she could no longer hide him, she took an ark of bulrushes for him, daubed it with asphalt and pitch, put the child in it, and laid it in the reeds by the river’s bank.  4. And his sister stood afar off, to know what would be done to him.  5. Then the daughter of Pharaoh came down to bathe at the river. And her maidens walked along the riverside; and when she saw the ark among the reeds, she sent her maid to get it.  6. And when she opened it, she saw the child, and behold, the baby wept. So she had compassion on him, and said, “This is one of the Hebrews’ children.”...
