Hebrews 9:23-28, “Thus it was necessary for the sketches of the heavenly things to be purified with these rites, but the heavenly things themselves need better sacrifices than these. For Christ did not enter a sanctuary made by human hands, a mere copy of the true one, but he entered into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God on our behalf. Nor was it to offer himself again and again, as the high priest enters the Holy Place year after year with blood that is not his own; for then he would have had to suffer again and again since the foundation of the world. But as it is, he has appeared once for all at the end of the age to remove sin by the sacrifice of himself. And just as it is appointed for mortals to die once, and after that the judgment, so Christ, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to deal with sin, but to save those who are eagerly waiting for him.”
Too often those who wish to dissolve the deity of Christ fail to remember that if Christ were merely priestly that He would do the same things over and over in a liturgical and ecclesial practice. Jesus Christ is Redeemer. He took our sins upon Himself was crucified, died and was buried. On the third day He was raised from the dead and He ascended into heaven. He will come again and He will be our judge. That is God’s promise and we; we are to wait upon God’s promise for eternal life.
Prayer: Father help us see Your purpose for redemption through Your Son Jesus Christ. We miss the details of Your truth because we’re busy with nonsense. Clear the nonsense from our selves and help us to live to Your promise. In Jesus Name we pray. AMEN
