Christ has entered, not into holy places made with hands, which are copies of the true things, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God on our behalf.

Many things can fill us but only Christ can sustain us. You know this is true. Just as bread is a staple of life, so Jesus is the staple of life. Accepting him as Savior is like being fed by him with an eternal food, one that will not only fill you now but never perish as well.

Christ is our light. There will be no darkness or temple in the New Jerusalem, because Jesus will be our ultimate light and home, the place we meet and forever live in God’s presence.

The redemptive work of God is more than just forgiveness—it’s bigger than that. God’s salvation is so complete that he doesn’t only want to take away the guilt, but he also wants to make you clean.

When Moses met with God on Mount Sinai, God instructed him on how the Tabernacle was to be built. Within those instructions God told Moses to build an altar upon which the people would make sacrifices. The purpose of the altar was to hold up the sacrifice type that would find its fulfillment in Jesus.

The Tabernacle had only one wall, the linen curtain that surrounded the actual Tabernacle and defined holy ground from the rest of the camp. It separated a righteous God from all humanity. We are all equally separated from God, and we are all equally saved only one way.

God’s goal in building the Tabernacle was to meet with Israel. Since creation, God has always had the desire to live amongst his people in fellowship with them.
