Here
Is The Main Point: We Have A High Priest
Who
Sat Down In The Place Of Honor
Beside
The Throne Of The Majestic God In Heaven.
Scripture
Hebrews
7
25 Therefore
he is able, once and forever, to save those who come to God through
him. He lives forever to intercede with God on their behalf.
26 He is the
kind of high priest we need because he is holy and blameless,
unstained by sin. He has been set apart from sinners and has been
given the highest place of honor in heaven.
Hebrews
8
1Here
is the main point: We have a High Priest who sat down in the place of
honor beside the throne of the majestic God in heaven.
2 There
he ministers in the heavenly Tabernacle, the true place of worship
that was built by the Lord and not by human hands.
Observation
Worship
at your church and at my church, even on the best of days, will be
nothing compared to what we are going to experience when we get to
Heaven! I don't even think we can begin to imagine how awesome it is
going to be!
We
get glimpses every once in a while about what Heaven is going to be
like, but only momentary glimpses.
The
writer of Hebrews is basically saying to me today, “You ain't seen
nothin' yet!”
I
don't know about you but I am looking forward to what God has
prepared for me in Heaven!
Isaiah
9:6-7 (Also part of my daily Bible reading this morning!)
For
a child is born to us, a son is given to us. The government will rest
on his shoulders. And he will be called: Wonderful Counselor, Mighty
God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. His government and its
peace will never end. He will rule with fairness and justice from the
throne of his ancestor David for all eternity. The passionate
commitment of the Lord of Heaven’s Armies will make this
happen!
Application
I
am reminded today that this earth is not my home. I am only passing
through – I have an eternal home waiting for me in Heaven!
How
about you? Where will you spend eternity when you die?
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, when I read passages of Scripture like I did this morning
from Isaiah and Hebrews I am reminded that this life is only the
beginning for me. You have things in store for me that are too
wonderful for me to even imagine. I am glad that I have a personal
relationship with You. I am so glad that I am one of Your children.
You delight in me. I am the apple of Your eye. Even though I don't
deserve Your kindness You pour it out on me every single day. You are
an awesome God. You are worthy of all praise!
Daily
Bible Reading: Isaiah 8,9,10; Hebrews 8
