“For Christ did not enter a holy place made with hands, a mere copy of the true one, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us;” Hebrews 9:24 (NASB)
What Jesus Christ did for us in dying on the cross was of real spiritual significance. The record in the Bible is very clear. It says that when Jesus actually died while nailed to the cross, the curtain in the temple in Jerusalem split from top to bottom. It was a manifestation that the way into the presence of God had been opened for all who choose to believe and enter. But Jerusalem's temple and Holy of Hollies was not the physical location that Jesus entered into God's presence. What he did was even more significant than that. When his ministry on earth was finished, He returned into the actual presence of God the Father in heaven. He was leading the way where we too can be in Him. That is where Jesus is now and He is there in God's presence appearing for our sake. What a great promise that we have Jesus, our Lord and Savior speaking on our behalf and praying to His Father God for our needs. Today, trust this promise and believe in the good work Jesus does for us every day.
