Bible Reading Plan

Day 113 - Read Hebrews 5-6

Jesus is our High Priest and the source of salvation for all. Human priests offered sacrifices for themselves before offering them for God’s people. Jesus did not require sacrifices for His sin because He was without sin. We are to grow in our understanding of the gospel so we may discern truth and teach truth. As we mature, we become useful for the glory of God. Otherwise, we are immature and not useful to the kingdom of God. God fulfilled His promises through Jesus, who has gone before us as our representative before the Father. We no longer need human priests to enter the Holy of Holies on our behalf.

Day 112 - Read Hebrews 3-4

The builder is honored above the house. Jesus is the builder, and we are the house. God’s people held Moses in high regard because he was faithful, but he too was part of creation. Jesus is honored as the Son of God above all creation. Do not allow unbelief to harden your heart like those who wondered in the wilderness and were not allowed to enter the promised land. Jesus provides us an opportunity to enter into His rest through the forgiveness of sins if we place our faith in Him. Draw close to Jesus who alone provides mercy and grace. He understands us in our weakness because He was tempted as we are, yet without sin.

Day 111 - Read Hebrews 1-2

Jesus was identified as the Son of God and the creator of all things. God spoke through Him to mankind, and salvation was made available through Him. He reigns above all. He is described as superior to all and worthy of praise. He is seated at the right hand of the Father. He proved His power through miraculous works. Jesus was made to suffer and die, but He defeated death and the evil one. Jesus is the perfect merciful and faithful high priest.

Day 110 - Read Philemon 1

Paul wrote to Philemon concerning Onesimus, a servant to Philemon. Paul took the opportunity to encourage those who ministered with Philemon and the local church. Onesimus became a believer through Paul’s teachings. Paul appealed to Philemon to accept Onesimus as a brother in Christ and to forgive him of any debt and any wrong he may have committed. Paul reminded Philemon of the efforts Paul made to share the gospel with him and to grow him in Christ. Paul trusted Philemon to be gracious in accepting Onesimus in love. Paul asked Philemon to prepare a place in hopes he would be released from imprisonment and visit him again.

Day 109 - Read Titus 1-3

Paul wrote to Titus to encourage and instruct him as he established the church at Crete. Paul provided qualifications for elders with a focus on teaching and instructing with sound doctrine, living lives that were obedient to God’s Word, and the ability to lead and protect the church from false teachers and false doctrine. He instructed the church concerning the responsibilities. Paul urged unity and Christian fellowship in the church. Paul warned against foolish controversies concerning the Law and genealogies. He condemned anyone who caused division. He instructed Titus to warn the divisive person twice, then have nothing to do with him. Such a person was self-condemned.
