Sacred Chores

Hebrews 9:11–14 (NAS): But when Christ appeared as a high priest of the good things to come, He entered through the greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this creation; and not through the blood of goats and calves, but through His own blood, He entered the holy place once for all, having obtained eternal redemption. For if the blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling those who have been defiled sanctify for the cleansing of the flesh, how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without blemish to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

Thought: “to serve the living God” The sacrifice of Christ our Savior allows us to serve the living God. He is alive and walks with us as we live in fellowship with Him moment by moment. He is involved with our daily occupation, a copartner in our daily decision making. He is living and moving and acting, and He acts through us and with us. He is intimately involved as we go about your weekly routine.

Understanding this adds meaning to our daily chores.
