Midweek God’s gift of forgiveness
SUNDAY’S DIVINE SERVICE—The Bread that Satisfies
Jesus is the true bread that came down from heaven. Whoever partakes of Jesus by faith alone will never hunger. He is forgiveness, life, salvation, health, wealth, peace, joy, contentment. He is the beginning and the end of faith and the One by whom we have everlasting life with God. The multitudes
recognized the parallels with Jesus and Moses through whom the Lord fed Israel in the wilderness. They hailed Him as the prophet greater than Moses who was to come into the world. But only those in whom God worked true repentance and faith came to believe in Him alone.

Genesis 22:1–14; Hebrews 9:11–15; John 8:42–59
Jesus Is Our Redemption
In the temple Jesus said, “If anyone keeps my word, he will never see death” (John 8:51). For Jesus came to taste death for us—to drink the cup of suffering to the dregs in order that we might be released from its power. Clinging to His life-giving words, we are delivered from death’s sting and its eternal judgment. Christ is our High Priest, who entered the Most Holy Place and with His own blood obtained everlasting redemption for His people (Hebrews 9:11–15). He is the One who was before Abraham was, and yet is his descendant. He is the promised Son who carries the wood up the mountain for the sacrifice, who is bound and laid upon the altar of the cross. He is the ram who is offered in our place, who is willingly caught in the thicket of our sin, and who wears the crown of thorns upon His head (Genesis 22:1–14). Though Jesus is dishonored by the sons of the devil, He is vindicated by the Father through the cross.
