In Hebrews chapter 13, we are given instruction:
10 We have an altar from which those who serve the tabernacle have no right to eat.
11 For the bodies of those animals, whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by the high priest for sin, are burned outside the camp.
12 Therefore Jesus also, that He might sanctify the people with His own blood, suffered outside the gate.
We are to understand that worshipping in an outward fashion by tradition and its associated sacrifices have little or no benefit for our tabernacle is found in Heaven and there should be our focus. Jesus was sacrificed outside the temple while the former sacrifices were conducted inside the gate. His sacrifice was for all mankind and thus could not be confined to man’s temple. Our altar is found in Heaven where His acceptable sacrifice was presented.
13 Therefore let us go forth to Him, outside the camp, bearing His reproach.
Men will attempt to rebuke, disgrace, and discredit the Sons just as Jesus suffered reproach by those in man’s authority. We must accept the fact that the world does not understand the higher Truths as of now. At some point they will be judged and have their eyes opened to the reality of the Way, the Truth, and the Life. The Sons will minister on behalf or our Elder Brother with the same power and authority He drew upon. The Pentecostal Age was “in part” whereas the Tabernacles Age is “in fullness”.
14 For here we have no continuing city, but we seek the one to come.
15 Therefore by Him let us continually offer the sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to His name.
16 But do not forget to do good and to share, for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.
FATHER has designated the fullness of time for the operation of the Sons. HE knows exactly when HIS Sons and Daughters are at full maturity and will not bring them forth early nor will HE wait beyond the appointed time. The world continues on it path toward destruction yet when HIS Children are disclosed to the world, they will see that standard by which they are judged. Their judgment will not be to everlasting destruction but will begin the time of correction and enlightenment.
We await and seek the “city” to come. Let us offer our sacrifices of praise and adoration to Our Heavenly Father for we know HIS Plan and we patiently wait its execution. We give HIM thanks for opening our eyes to HIS Perfect Plan, Will, and Purpose. Let us not remain silent with respect to the Good News of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and let us share this passion with those who are willing to listen. Do not be discouraged by those who reject the revelation given to the Sons for it is simply not their time to hear. Many are blinded by the world’s ways and their own egos. They want their reward now without realizing how temporary it is. On the other hand, we know a Heavenly reward awaits us and know it it everlasting.
What a small price to pay by suffering reproach as Jesus did. Don’t concern yourself about the necessity of suffering for Christ’s sake for it is only temporary. As we embrace the fellowship of His sufferings we will be more than willing to nail our ego to the cross and die to the flesh.
Last but not least, do not forget to do good and to share. FATHER is well pleased as we actively represent HIM by expressing Love to others. We should go about doing good.
