Daily Walk Through the New Testament
February 4
Read Hebrews 7:11-8:6

Jesus wants us to draw near to Him. His life, death, and resurrection give us a better hope (Hebrews 7:19). It’s a hope that is not only better than what the world could ever give us, but it’s also better than what the old covenant could give us. Jesus is the personal guarantee for us to have this better hope.
One of the great reasons we need to draw near to Jesus is that He lives to make intercession for us (Hebrews 7:25). Our Lord stands in the gap, appealing to the Father on our behalf. This Great High Priest is always praying for us.
Throughout today, and later tonight when you lay your head on your pillow, know with all confidence that Someone is praying for you. He always has your best interests at heart. His name is JESUS. Draw near to Him and thank Him for giving you a better hope and for interceding for you.
