I just finished doing my night time devotion. Everything in the Old Testament from the Temple to the sacrifices pointed to Jesus. The author of Hebrews makes the parallel that the true Holy of Holies is Heaven itself. Only a high priest could enter once a year, and this was a shadow of the heavenly reality of Christ entering. The problem with the Levitical Priesthood is that it was always imperfect because they were sinners and they sacrificed with the blood of goats and bulls. Then comes along Jesus, entering the true Holy of Holies: Heaven itself. He leaves Heaven, takes on a human body, offers his perfect blood that cleanses our filth, and returns to Heaven. Now we are brought back to God. We are cleansed of our evil consciences because He came! Now he lives to be our Great High Priest. I can exalt God now because He lives! The Lord is for us, because Christ came for us, and Lives for us! This is a glorious truth. Lord, help me not forget your precious words! This still blows my mind away!
