Scripture to Read: Hebrews 9:24-28
It’s incredible what God teaches us as
we read, study, and memorize His Word. God continues
to repeat His Truths again and again so that we are
without excuse for knowing the fullness of Him and His
Word. We have the beautiful reminder in Hebrews 9:24
that Christ is in the real Holy of Holies and appears before
the Father on our behalf. Now, Christ did NOT enter
the real Holy of Holies in heaven more than once, for if
He had, then He would have had to have suffered death
for us year after year after year since the world was
first created. But, what Christ did was that He appeared
at the appointed time of God the Father to pay the full
price for sin through His sacrifice of Himself. This truth
is mentioned in Galatians 4:4-5 “4 But when the fullness
of the time came, God sent forth His Son, born of a
woman, born under the Law, 5 so that He might redeem
those who were under the Law, that we might receive
the adoption as sons.” God always had the appointed
time for Christ to come and give His all, and we now
benefit from all that God has for us through our relationship
with Christ. We will all die, but because Christ
died on our behalf, the judgment we face will be different.
Christ will be the One to speak to God the Father on
our behalf, and we will be able to be in God the Father’s
presence clean and pure because of Christ.
