Hebrews 9:11-14 – Redemption
Key Verses: (NRSV)
- 11: “But when Christ came as a high priest of the good things that have come, then through the greater and perfect tent...” The writer of Hebrews is still comparing Christ, the High Priest, to the Jewish priests who would enter the tent that held the Ark of the Covenant.
- 12: “He entered once for all into the Holy Place, not with the blood of goats and calves, but with His own blood, thus obtaining eternal redemption.” – On the Day of Atonement the high priest would enter the tabernacle and spread blood from a goat or a bull on the Ark in a sacrificial effort to expiate the sins of the people.
- 14: “How much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without blemish to God, purify our conscience from dead works to worship the living God!” – Jesus sacrificed Himself so that we would be cleaned and forgiven for all time.
- Do you need to be forgiven?
Promises of the Gospel:
Praise God for His love! Worship Him with all your heart! Through Christ we are assured, guaranteed, that our sins have been forgiven. Once and for all time, the darkness that wants to control us is erased. No other process of redemption ever tried by man has worked. There are no other rituals, acts of penance, or procedures of purification that can be done to effectively expunge our ungodliness. We are separated from God because of sin and would be forever banished from His presence if it were not for one amazing act of love. The blood of Christ has freed us from death and enables us to serve a living God; growing and transforming us to be more like Him with each passing moment. Hallelujah!
