The Blood of Jesus - 3

Jesus Christ, The Perfect Tabernacle
Hebrews 9:11,12 KJV
"But Christ being come an high priest of good
things to come, by a greater and more perfect
tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to
say, not of this building; neither by the
blood of goats and calves, but by His own
blood He entered in once into the holy place,
having obtained eternal redemption for us."

In the Old Testament, the Tabernacle, "God
dwell among His people" by staying in the
room of "Ark, the Mercy Seat." And the animal
sacrifice of the blood was only "put on hold"
until Christ came and completed the work of
Calvary.

In the New Testament, Christ's Blood allows us
to have God, the Holy Spirit to dwell inside of
us. It takes the work of Christ's Calvary to
cleanse us and make us whole.

Dorothy:
May the Lord open our eyes to understand that
Jesus Christ is our perfect tabernacle. Amen!

Prayer song to the Lord:
Lord Jesus, Thou doest see I patiently wait;
Come now, and within me a new heart create;
To those who have sought Thee, Thou never said no;
Now wash me and I shall be whiter than snow.
Chorus:
Whiter than snow, yes, whiter than snow;
Now wash me and I shall be whiter than snow.

Verse to remember: Isaiah 1:18
KJV-"Come now, and let us reason together, saith the
LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be
as white as snow; though they be red like crimson,
they shall be as wool."
NCV-The Lord says, "come, let us talk about these
things. Though your sins are like scarlet, they can
be as white as snow. Though your sins are deep red,
they can be white like wool."
