"Greetings in the Name of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for 25 October 2011"
Today's Blog Title: "Free At Last"
Today's Scripture Reading: Hebrews 1-28
Today's Key Verse: Hebrews 9:27,28 "And as it is appointed for en to die once, but after this the judgment, so Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many. To those who eagerly wait for Him, He will appear a second time, apart from din, for salvation."
In Chapter 9 the writer reminds us that every element of the Mosaic Covenant had special significance, for it reflected realities in heaven (verses 1-5). The most important significant act of all was performed on the Day of Atonement.
There the high priest entered the inner room of the tabernacle, the holy place, carrying blood of an atoning sacrifice (verse 6,7). The curtain separating this inner room symbolized the fact that under the Mosaic Law no one had direct access in to God's presence (verses 8-10).
Jesus Christ, our High Priest, entered heaven itself, bearing His own blood. By His sacrifice he obtained eternal salvation for us (verses 11-14). Christ is then the mediator of a New Covenant, activated by His death. This is in fact the significance of Old Testament sacrifices: in cleansing earthly things they symbolize the cleansing Jesus won for us (verses 15-22).
Animal sacrifices were sufficient for earthly copies, but Christ alone could enter heaven and then with His own blood, put away our sin once and for by the one sufficient and awesome sacrifice of Himself (verses 23-28).
Today's Hymn: "Blessed Assurance"
Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine! O what a foretaste of glory divine!
Heir of salvation, purchase of God, Born of His Spirit, washed in His blood
Perfect submission, perfect delight! Visions of rapture now burst on my sight
Angels descending bring from above, Echoes of mercy , whispers of love
Perfect submission, all is at rest, I in my Savior am happy and blest:
Watching and waiting, looking above, Filled with His goodness, lost in His love
This is my story, this is my song, Praising my Savior all the day long
This is my story, this is my song, Praising my Savior all the day long
Heavenly Father Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit because of the one sacrifice of Jesus Christ upon the Cross we have been saved from all our sins and unrighteousness. What a loving and merciful Heavenly Father that we serve that send His Son to die the sinners death upon the Cross of Calvary that none would perish if they but believed and trusted in the name of Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. How thankful to be born of His Spirit and washed in His blood.
Amen
