Complete: Hebrews 13:21

20Now may the God of peace who brought up our Lord Jesus from the dead, that great Shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, 21make you complete in every good work to do His will, working in you what is well pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.

Hebrews 13: 20-21 (NKJ)

Hebrew 13:21 is part of the benediction found at the end of the book of Hebrews, closing the letter to Jewish converts to Christianity. The author encourages them to continue in obedience, love, and prayer. For them to embrace Jesus’ sacrifice and accept the everlasting covenant; to grow in trust and follow God’s will. The author is praying for the people to be made complete in everything good and every good work. God equips us through the power of Jesus, providing everything we need to follow His path. To make us complete, prepared, and pleasing in His sight. To Christ be glory forever and ever!

May God, who puts all things together, makes all things whole,
Who made a lasting mark through the sacrifice of Jesus,
the sacrifice of blood that sealed the eternal covenant,
Who led Jesus, our Great Shepherd, up and alive from the dead,
Now put you together, provide you with everything you need to please him,
Make us into what gives him most pleasure, by means of the sacrifice of Jesus, the Messiah.
All glory to Jesus forever and always! Oh, yes, yes, yes.

Hebrews 13: 20-21(MSG)

Do you feel prepared and accept what is needed to be complete and pleasing to God?

Prayer; Our Heavenly Father, our God of Peace who puts all things together, we raise our voices to You in thanksgiving and praise. Thank You for your son, Jesus; His sacrifice for us and the everlasting covenant sealed by His blood. Like the hydrangea’s small individual flowers open and mature in time, becoming complete, let us open our hearts to You, follow Your will and become complete and pleasing in Your sight. In Jesus’ name. Amen
