Poetry
No one dared go boldly into the Holy of Holies, God’s presence
Only the priest could, and that after a sacrifice for own sins.
The rest looked on in wonder, imagining the awe in that place.
From the outer court to the inner court to the holy place, no sin
No one was fit to enter but the high priest to see the similitude of His face.
So, when the priest went in, he was still very unsure.
He trod with care, every move he made with dread,
Little bells attached to the hem of his robe.
And tied to his ankles were ropes,
In case he had to be dragged out, dead.
A duty he did with great foreboding and terror;
A great burden he would rather avoid;
But there was no escape, he was duty bound.
But when Jesus died, He paid the price, put all aside;
Enacted a New covenant for all who will come and abide.
He did the deed a perfect work once and for all;,,
For all entrapped by Adam’s sin, the great fall.
As the Great High Priest Jesus had no sin,
He was the perfect, holy, Lamb of God to bring us in.
What the law could not do, He did for you, for me
So that the blind will begin to see.
He took away the sins of the world;
Became the scapegoat for all who accept His Word.
He made a New and Living Way,
As the Light the Truth, the Life the Way
Opened a new chapter of great hope,
For all those locked in the sin dope.
And the thick curtain was torn,
Letting in the light from the sun, God’s Son
from top to bottom, it was torn, declaring :
‘Come boldly to the throne of Grace, sing
Come, obtain mercy and grace to help you
In time of need, in time of troubles, Gentile and Jew.
Come one, come all. Come all you who labour.
Receive pardon, mercy, forgiveness, favour.
Be free, free at last, to come into His presence
Enter without fear, no hindrance, no pretence;
Free, with no guilt, doubt or condemnation.
Thank God for redemption, and salvation.
Heb.10:19-25
