SCRIPTURE: : Hebrews (NIV) 9:24 For Christ did not enter a man-made sanctuary that was only a copy of the true one; he entered heaven itself, now to appear for us in God’s presence. 25 Nor did he enter heaven to offer himself again and again, the way the high priest enters the Most Holy Place every year with blood that is not his own. 26 Then Christ would have had to suffer many times since the creation of the world. But now he has appeared once for all at the end of the ages to do away with sin by the sacrifice of himself.
OBSERVATION: Jesus came to earth to do what could not be done in heaven—to be tempted in every way like we are. He came to earth to do what the Father could not do—to make a sacrifice as a sinless man.
He ascended to the right hand of the Father to do what could not be done on earth—to present a payment sufficient to cover sins!
The issue of sin being settled, from heaven He sent the Holy Spirit to be my permanent personal confidant and guide and to empower me to do His work. Jesus remains in heaven to ever make intercession for me!
He who represented God on earth now represents me in heaven!
APPLICATION: I now live in confidence that a sufficient sacrifice has been made and accepted to cover my sins. Jesus gave His all for me. Now I can give my all to Him. I want my life to express my appreciation for what He has done for me.
PRAYER: Heavenly Father, the scope of your plan amazes me. What an undeserved honor to be a part of your plan! What a privilege to serve you! Amen
