Heb 9
A better sanctuary.
In every way, the present heavenly sanctuary is better than any sanctuary on earth, including the temple in Jerusalem.
In the earthly temple, the furnishings were only symbols, the work was never finished.
And the ministry could never change the human heart.
You can be grateful for the price Jesus paid to make His heavenly ministry possible.
A better service.
The Jewish high priest could deal only with externals, but Jesus deals with the heart and conscience.
He can purify us and perfect us.
So that we can serve God in an acceptable way.
Do you come to Him daily and ask for His ministry?
A better sacrifice.
The blood that purchased your eternal redemption is not from unwilling animals, but from the Son of God who willingly laid down His life for you.
The spotless Lamb of God had to die only once.
The sacrifice need not be repeated,
Have you trusted that blood to save you?
Heb 10
Forgiveness.
The sacrifices under the old covenant brought a reminder of sin, not a remission of sin – big difference!
The blood of God's own Son took care of sin once and for all.
Now because there is no more offering for sin, there's also no more remembrance of sin.
And we can rejoice that we have a righteous standing before God.
That, my friend, is real good news!
