MFM Daily Devotional 28 March 2024 MESSAGE

The English word “perfect” signifies a completed work or project that needs no addition or subtraction. It refers to a perfect finishing that puts a seal of excellence on that work or thing.

Our God is perfect and His works are perfect, leaving no blemish, doubt, nor anything to add or remove. He is the embodiment of perfection. Whatever He does cannot be categorised as yet to be done or finished. It is not only a perfect work but the perfect work from the all-perfect God. This includes the work of the Cross upon which Jesus died for the sins of mankind. Having no sins, but at the request of the Father, He surrendered Himself for this once-for-all sacrifice, for the redemption of man and reconciliation to God through His blood that was shed on the Cross of Calvary.

This is a serious matter that concerns you and me if you are a sincere and committed child of God. Jesus paid for our sins through His blood even before we ever came to know and accept Him as our Lord and Saviour. He willingly placed Himself as the only sacrifice that can replace the yearly offerings that was done by the priests in the Old Testament. The blood of animals couldn’t redeem man. Hence, the perfect sacrifice offered by Jesus our High Priest. Beloved, for your sake and my sake, He was both the high priest and the sacrifice! The Cross was the place of the offering to God Almighty.

READ MFM Daily Devotional 27 March 2024 – Lessons from the Life of Miriam (V)

What a love and compassion for Jesus to have done all these for our sakes! You don’t have anything to offer Him in return but your heart, your conscience and your entire life. It is through this perfect sacrifice that we access the throne of grace with boldness and ask for mercy (Hebrews 4:16). If not for this sacrifice, your existence would not find meaning.

As a child of God, Jesus’ life, death and resurrection bring meaning to who we are and to whom we belong. To have this realisation, therefore, is to be forever grateful to God, and make yourself also a living sacrifice every day of your life, which the Bible calls “your reasonable service, worthy and acceptable service unto God.”
