Jesus’ own Blood was taken from Golgotha to The Throne of GOD!
For many, taking Communion has become a tradition versus a revelation. Taking Communion is an acknowledgement of Christ’s supreme Sacrifice for all of mankind. We should not take this lightly! We should be reverent when we take Communion.
Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Hebrews 9:
11 But Christ came as High Priest of the good things to come, with the greater and more perfect tabernacle not made with hands, that is, not of this creation.
12 Not with the blood of goats and calves, but with His Own Blood He entered the Most Holy Place once for all, having obtained Eternal redemption.
13 For if the blood of bulls and goats and the ashes of a heifer, sprinkling the unclean, sanctifies for the purifying of the flesh,
14 how much more shall the Blood of Christ, Who through the Eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?
15 And for this reason He is the Mediator of the New Covenant, by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions under the first covenant, that those who are called may receive the promise of the Eternal inheritance.
Jesus carried His own Blood from Golgotha to the Mercy Seat before FATHER on our behalf. This is the most important act in history on behalf of mankind. Paul continues:
23 Therefore it was necessary that the copies of the things in the Heavens should be purified with these, but the Heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.
24 For Christ has not entered the Holy places made with hands, which are copies of the True, but into Heaven itself, now to appear in the Presence of God for us;
25 not that He should offer Himself often, as the high priest enters the Most Holy Place every year with blood of another-
26 He then would have had to suffer often since the foundation of the world; but now, once at the end of the ages, He has appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself.
27 And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment,
28 so Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many. To those who eagerly wait for Him He will appear a second time, apart from sin, for salvation.
FATHER prepared mankind by giving Israel the pattern pointing to Eternal redemption. They could see an earthly model of what would be required in the Throne Room of GOD. They had limited understanding of redemption.
Once we understand what Jesus did in the Throne Room, Paul instructs us:
19 Therefore, brethren, having boldness to enter the Holiest by the blood of Jesus,
20 by a new and living Way which He consecrated for us, through the veil, that is, His Flesh,
21 and having a High Priest over the House of God,
22 let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with Pure Water.
23 Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful.
24 And let us consider one another in order to stir up Love and good works, 25 not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.
As we comprehend the importance of Communion individually, this will stir up Love and good works to benefit others. My wife and I take Communion daily so that we keep this greatest sacrifice at the forefront of our lives.
