JOURNEY TO THE HOLY OF HOLIES (Part 4)

Beloved,

Our Online Bible Study holds today at 6:00 p.m. (WAT).

We shall press on to still look at From the Grave (of Death) to (the Throne of) Grace.

The Baptism of Water and the baptism of the Spirit which Jesus had at Jordan opened the heavens unto Him. Baptism of water implies the death and burial of the believer in Christ Jesus while being raised from the water points to his resurrection- being raised from the grave (water). Jesus demonstrated His rising from the grave when He rose from the water. The heavens opened unto Him as soon as the Holy Ghost came on Him- He got connected with the Throne of God (The Throne of Grace) with a voice confirming His sonship.

At His death, the Bible says:

“Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.
And, behold, THE VEIL OF THE TEMPLE WAS RENT IN TWAIN FROM THE TOP TO THE BOTTOM; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;
AND THE GRAVES WERE OPENED; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose, And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.” Matthew 27:50-53 (KJV)

The veil which demarcated the Holy Place from the Holy of Holies tore into two before the graves opened. This event happened so that no one who comes out of the grave will meet a closed gate! You cannot come out of your grave and meet a brick wall like the children of Israel did in Moses when he covered his face! (2 Cor. 3:12,13)

The death of Jesus opened two gates, one, the gate out of the graves and two, the gate into the Throne of Grace. Anyone who now stays in the grave does so by his unbelief or choice.

Jesus said:

“Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.
Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.” John 5:24,25 (KJV)

If you do not harden your heart and hear the voice of Jesus, you will come out of your grave! No grave has any right to hold you down; no grave held Jesus down! (Acts 2:24). And no gate can stop you from entering into the Holy of Holies when you turn your ear and heart to the Lord (2 Cor. 3:16). You have the liberty to come through Jesus into a good relationship with God in the Holy of Holies because Jesus forms the Way for you!

Let us meet at 6:00 p.m. (WAT) to discuss this matter further.

JOURNEY TO THE HOLY OF HOLIES (Part 3)

Beloved,

Our online Bible Study holds today at 6:00 p.m. (WAT).

We are still looking at JOURNEY TO THE HOLY OF HOLIES, a sub-topic of CULTURING THE NEW LIFE.

Though the intention of God was to make Israel a nation of priests, sadly, not all of them got to the Holy Place to officiate as priests.

In fact, some of the privileged ones, who had access to the Holy Place were later restricted to the outer court. They were reduced to ministers of the house instead of ministers of the LORD (Ezek. 44:10-16)

There is a difference between ministering to the people and ministering to the LORD!

There is no doubt that the Sacrifice of Jesus remains the most critical help God offered mankind, and it is the greatest experience a man can have in life. However, this sacrifice is all-encompassing as it also opened the gateway for us to approach the Holy Place and the Holy of Holies.

When Jesus died on the Cross, the Bible says:

“Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.
AND, BEHOLD THE VEIL OF THE TEMPLE WAS RENT IN TWAIN FROM THE TOP TO THE BOTTOM; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;
And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose,
And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.” Matthew 27:50-53 (KJV) [Emphasis ours]

What happened here is not a ruse! First, the veil that cuts the Holy of Holies from the Holy Place was torn; leaving free access to anyone who makes it to the Holy Place to have unfettered access to the Holy of Holies!

The desire of God is not just to save us but also to draw us into a relationship with Him that will bring us to the same pedestal with Jesus.

Becoming like Jesus, which the experience of the Holy of Holies brings, is the ultimate desire of God for all of us …
