Reflect on Jeremiah 31:31-40 as it is read aloud. God takes the place of judgment and makes it sacred. Reflect on Hebrews 10 as it is read aloud and focus on the three-fold promise in Jeremiah. Consider the warning that those who shrink back are destroyed. The danger is one of apostasy. Jeremiah 31 is quoted and is meant to offer assurance. There is real atonement, real transformation, and real covenant community. Hebrews 10:12 states, “…but He, having offered one sacrifice for sins for all time, ‘sat down at the right hand of God…’” The completion of His sacrificial work means there is no more need for the offering for sin. The concern is that Christians would lapse back into offering sacrifices for sin.
