FRIDAY
John 16:17-28 A New Day
Jesus is talking about a new relationship between the believer and God. Previously, people had approached God through priests. After Jesus’ resurrection, any believer could approach God directly. A new day has dawned and now all believers are priests, talking with God personally and directly (Hebrews 10:19-23).
Lesson: We approach God, not because of our own merit, but because Jesus, our great High Priest, has made us acceptable to God.
