23So it was necessary for the copies of the heavenly things to be purified with these sacrifices, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. 24For Christ did not enter a man-made copy of the true sanctuary, but He entered heaven itself, now to appear on our behalf in the presence of God.
25Nor did He enter heaven to offer Himself again and again, as the high priest enters the Most Holy Place every year with blood that is not his own. 26Otherwise, He would have had to suffer repeatedly since the foundation 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.
27Just as man is appointed to die once, and after that to face judgment, 28so also Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many; and He will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who eagerly await Him.
Better sacrifices that these, that was Christ and His purpose, the ultimate sacrifice. Christ ascended into heaven to appear in the presence of God for us.
Jesus was a ONCE and FOR ALL sacrifice, with His blood we are healed. But if you willingly keep sinning aren't you crucifying Him over and over?
It is appointed for men to die once and after this comes judgement.
Christ also been offered once (died), to bear the sins of many.
And He will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who eagerly await Him. (Rapture)
We will meet Him in the clouds.
It will be a glorious meeting!
Last night we watched a movie called The Shack. It's not biblically correct but it is correct about consuming hate, judgment, forgiveness and love. It's about a child that was murdered in a shack and how the hate consumed the father. The father received and invitation from (Papa) God. He meets the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit. But was it a dream? He learned to forgive and to let go of the past, to live and love for the future.
Can you?
Blessings, David
