He has already been there!

Scripture: Hebrews 6:19 (NIV) We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain,
20 where Jesus, who went before us, has entered on our behalf. He has become a high priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek.

Observation: The King James Version of the Bible uses the word “forerunner” to describe Jesus in verse 20. Here it is used in reference to Jesus priestly entrance into heaven with the blood of His sacrifice on the cross. But there are many times in the scripture we see Jesus being a “forerunner.”

Application: Jesus has taken the part of a “forerunner” for me on many occasions. I cannot remember Him ever sending me to a place where when I arrived I did not find that He was already there. He sends me. He accompanies me as I go. And He is waiting there when I arrive.

Prayer: Lord, thank you for going before me. You know what is ahead for me because you have already been where I am going! Amen.
