But when Christ appeared as a high priest of the
good things that have come, then through the greater and more perfect
tent (not made with hands, that is, not of this creation) he entered
once for all into the holy places, not by means of the blood of goats
and calves but by means of his own blood, thus securing an eternal
redemption. For if the blood of goats and bulls, and the sprinkling of
defiled persons with the ashes of a heifer, sanctify for the
purification of the flesh, 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 serve the living God.
(Hebrews 9:11-14)
No commanded ritual Old Testament practice points the
way to the finished work of Christ quite like the Tabernacle. Through
the Gate, past the brazen alter, into the holy place, and to the Holy of
Holies our great High Priest Jesus has secured for us eternal
redemption through His own blood. In this sermon Pastor Chris Kopp
teaches through Hebrews Chapters 8 and 9 to show us the meaning of the
Tabernacle and the Gospel.
