Exodus 28

Continuing our theme from yesterday, all the elements involved in the worship of God through the temple/tabernacle can refer specifically to Jesus Christ. He is our holy and perfect sacrifice. His sacrificial death cleanses us from our sin. He is the light of the world. He is the bread of life. He is our great and holy high priest. He represents us before God.

1 John 1:9 (WEB) “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”

Hebrews 9:11-12 (WEB) “But Christ having come as a high priest of the coming good things, through the greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this creation, nor yet through the blood of goats and calves, but through his own blood, entered in once for all into the Holy Place, having obtained eternal redemption.”

Romans 8:34 (WEB) “Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, yes rather, who was raised from the dead, who is at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us.”

Thought for the day: Where would we be without Jesus?

Hebrews 7:25 (WEB) “Therefore he is also able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God through him, seeing that he lives forever to make intercession for them.”
