Lent@Landmark: Day 20

The author of Hebrews is a mystery.  It's likely not someone who'd written any of the other books of the New Testament, as the voice–vocabulary, structure, theological and philosophical depth–is unlike all of the others.  It skillfully speaks to a Jewish audience about how a decision to follow Jesus is the natural choice for any student of the Hebrew (Old Testament) scriptures, yet also challenges them to go farther than their faith has taken them so far.

"The law is only a shadow of the good things that are coming—not the realities themselves. For this reason it can never, by the same sacrifices repeated endlessly year after year, make perfect those who draw near to worship. Otherwise, would they not have stopped being offered? For the worshipers would have been cleansed once for all, and would no longer have felt guilty for their sins. But those sacrifices are an annual reminder of sins. It is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins." (Hebrews 10:1‭-‬4)

God cares more about who we are than what we do.  Anyone can "act" a certain way for a while.  Our words and deeds should follow from our hearts naturally–motivated by who we really are.  

What do the words and deeds that flow naturally from your heart say about who you are?  What do they say about who God is offering to help you become?
