Day 353

December 19th
Hebrews 8:1-10:39.  “Tattooed”
“Your body is the one thing you have ultimate control over.  Tattoos are a way of committing to something permanent and stable, of recording who and what you are right now” – Anne Velliquette, academic researcher commenting on the popularity of tattoos.
It may surprise some of you to hear that I have a tattoo.  You may be even more surprised when I say that I hope all of you reading this have one too.  These tattoos are not anything that you would ever see on the human body.  No, rather the tattoos are of a spiritual nature, for as partakers of a new and better covenant, you have the law of God written on your heart and mind (Hebrews 8:10).
When you came to faith in Christ, you committed your life to something far more permanent than some ink on your skin.  You committed your life to the one who is the same yesterday, today and forever (Hebrews 13:8), and to his word, which never changes and never fails (1 Kings 8:56).
