Christ in Me Through Beholding

I just want to recommend a few reading material, a few very, very good books.

First book, Christ and His Sanctuary, compilation from Ellen White, of Ellen White's writing about Christ and His sanctuary.

Some of you have the app, it's probably on there.

Second book is called The Sanctuary Service by M.L.

You read this, you'll know the sanctuary from in and out, no problem.

And the last book, I don't have a copy with me, it's called The Shadow and the Cross by 1 of our founding fathers, Brother Hayskel.

Excellent book showing how Christ is the type, you know, how Christ fulfilled the different things in the sanctuary service.

Very, very well-written book, easy to understand, and it's actually very good.

What I want to do now, like I said, is I want to go through a little bit more of the sanctuary service and show how it teaches us about righteousness by faith, what it means to us today, and what we can learn about how we ought to live today.

And I'd like to finish a little bit early to, you know, if ever you have questions, to give you a little bit of time to answer questions, to ask questions, to put me on the spot and see whether I know an answer or not, and I pray God will give me the answer.

And if I don't, then I will go and do my research and bring you a satisfying answer.

All right, let's begin with a word of prayer.

Father Lord, we once again come to you as we are continuing our study of the sanctuary service Lord.

This service that you have instituted for teaching Lord and we pray that you'll continue to teach us as we continue to study Lord For we want to know all that we can know.

And Lord, though we will not exhaust this topic, I pray that you will give us a thirst for righteousness and a thirst to study of sanctuary.

I thank you so much, Lord, for giving us this privilege.

We pray for the forgiveness of our sins and we pray that you will put a hedge around us that we may not be distracted by anything.

We thank you, Lord, and we pray this in the name of Jesus.

I want to talk about the sanctuary in heaven.

You are aware that there is also a sanctuary in heaven?

You can take the references because I'll try to go a little quicker.

God says, God says, and let them make me a sanctuary that I may dwell among them according to all that I show thee.

After the pattern of the tabernacle and the pattern of all the instruments thereof, even so shall you make it.

Now when we talk about a pattern what does it imply?

Yeah there is the pattern is something that we need to imitate.

Like when people do dresses or clothes, they have this pattern that they follow and if they follow the pattern correctly, then they get the proper result.

If they mess up the pattern, the dress doesn't fit or it's too short.

Now of the things which we have spoken, this is, if you study the book of Hebrews, okay, this is where the sanctuary service comes to the New Testament.

This is where Paul explains and expounds how Christ fulfills what the sanctuary is.

And I remember when I started reading my Bible and I read the book of Hebrews, I was like, what am I reading?

Because I didn't understand the sanctuary.

Now that I've gained an understanding of the sanctuary, I go to the book of Hebrews and like all these incredible jewels and treasure comes alive.

So now Hebrews 8 verse 1 and 2 it says, Now of the things which we have spoken, this is the sum.

Okay, I've spoken for you for 7 chapters, but this is the sum.

We have such a high priest who is set on the right hand of the throne of the majesty in the heavens.

In the heavens and who is this high priest?

Jesus, a minister of the sanctuary and of the true tabernacle which the Lord pitched and not man.

Hebrews 8.5 it says, Who served unto the example of the shadow of heavenly things, that's the 1 Moses built, as Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make the tabernacle for sea said he that thou make all things according to the pattern shown to thee in the mount.

So the pattern that Moses used to build the tabernacle was the sanctuary in heaven.

So you got to see like this miniature version of what the tabernacle in heaven was like and this is what he based the tabernacle that he built on earth on.

Now we've never seen the tabernacle in heaven but it must be awesome and great And obviously the 1 that is here would never be as great as the 1 in heaven.

Verse 3 says, for every high priest is ordained to offer gifts and sacrifice, wherefore it is of necessity that this man, that's Jesus, have somewhat also to offer.

And so the services that were taking place here were a shadow, a representation of what was happening in heaven or what happens in heaven.

In chapter 9, verse 11 and 12 says, But Christ being come in 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 or cows, but by His own blood He entered in ones into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us." And so when Christ came to heaven as a high priest, He didn't just come in the sanctuary without nothing.

He also came with blood the same way that the high priest on earth would enter with blood.

The only difference is that he came in with his own blood, the blood that he shed on the cross.

It was therefore, this is 23 to 28 of chapter 9 of Hebrews, it was therefore necessary that the pattern of things in the heaven should be purified with these, speaking of the blood, but the heavenly things themselves would better sacrifice than these.

For Christ is not entered into only place made with hands, that means he's not entered in the tabernacle on earth, which are the figure of the true, but into heaven itself, that's where he entered, now to appear in the presence of God for us.

Now let me ask you, When would the high priest on earth appear before God?

Nor yet that he should offer himself often as the high priest and turn into the holy place every year with the blood of others, for then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world.

But now once in the end of the world had he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.

So when Christ died, he went into heaven, but at the end of the world, he would enter with his own blood in the presence of this Father in the most holy place.

Okay, we're going to put that in perspective.

So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many, and unto them that look for him he shall appear a second time without sin and salvation." So now if you look at the pattern, Christ came to heaven, he came with his blood and at the end of time, now we understand that the end of time is a period of time, okay, the end time events that we always talk about.

When this began, Christ enters in the most holy place with His blood and according to the text, once He's done with this portion of His ministry, He appears a second time.

So between the beginning of the end time and Jesus' second coming, He's in the most holy place, ministering His blood.

What is it that the Day of Atonement teaches us?

Why is it that there's this thing, because he's doing kind of a Day of Atonement thing in heaven, the same way that it was done on earth.

What is it that the Day of Atonement was really all about?

Well, the Day of Atonement was simply a figure of the judgment.

If on the Day of Atonement you had not confessed your sins and the Day of Atonement would end, you would be cut off.

It was a figure of how the judgment takes place.

By the choices and the habits that you formed in this life.

You choose sin, you form a character after that of Satan, you're moving toward eternal death.

You choose obedience and righteousness and faithfulness and holy living and Christlikeness and your habits are moving you toward a character like Christ, you're moving toward eternal life.
