But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building; Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us. (Hebrews 9:11-12) *1/ A way pointed to by figures. 2/ A way now made clear in Christ. 3/ A way of blessing for those called.* ~~~~~~ This sermon was preached at Providence Strict Baptist Chapel, Northampton. ~~~~~~ **Sermon Summary:** The sermon centers on Christ as the ultimate High Priest who, through His own blood and a heavenly tabernacle not made with hands, has secured eternal redemption and opened direct access to God's presence in heaven. It contrasts the Old Testament system of repeated sacrifices and a veiled holy place—symbolizing a temporary, incomplete way—with the finished, once-for-all work of Christ, which fulfils all types and shadows, making the way into God's presence fully manifest. The Holy Spirit is highlighted as the divine agent who inspired the Old Testament figures, now applies Christ's redemption to believers, and seals them in faith, ensuring that the blessings of calling—eternal redemption, an incorruptible inheritance, a purified conscience, and continual intercession—are not only promised but already obtained. The message emphasizes that these blessings are particular, personal, and eternal, grounded in Christ's substitutionary sacrifice and secured by the Father's will, inviting believers to rest in the completeness of His work and to live in the assurance of His ongoing presence and advocacy.
