Day 319: Why and How to Worship
Psalm 126:1–6, Hebrews 12:14–29, Ezekiel 28:1–29:21
You no longer have to go to a specific physical place to experience the presence of God. Because of Jesus, the ‘mediator of a *new covenant*’ (Hebrews 12:24a), you can worship *anywhere*. Jesus is the one who has made this new relationship with God possible through his death on the cross for you and me.
