Hebrews 10:19-22
We have the right to draw near to God...the Creator of the universe! How can we do this without getting burned up by His holiness? The Holy of Holies was a place that only the high Priest would enter one time each year and sprinkle the blood of the sacrifice on the Ark of the Covenant...and we can "enter" anytime we want! "Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts sprinkled clean..."
What makes this possible? Those of us in Christ "have confidence to enter the holy places by the blood of Jesus, by the NEW and LIVING way that Jesus Christ has opened for us." Christ was the Priest AND the sacrifice for us. The eternal debt was payed by an eternal sacrifice.
Heb. 7:25 "Draw near to God through him (Jesus)... he always lives to make intercession." Let's draw near to God through prayer (Eph. 6:18). Don't just stand in the courtyard and look in, let's walk through the Holy Place and step past the torn and open curtain and into the Holy of Holies.
