Hebrews 9: Christ Is Priest Of A Better Sanctuary

Hebrews 9

Theme: Remain Confident in Christ

2) Because He is a better Priest (4:14 - 10:39)
C) Priest of a better Sanctuary (9)

We should remain confident in Christ, because He is the priest
of a better sanctuary. His blood brings us into the presence
of God with confidence, having cleansed our conscience from
guilt once for all, and insures us of an eternal hope of
inheritance.

1-10: The OT sanctuary excluded men from the Holy presence of
God. Priests of the earthly sanctuary could only enter this
Holy of Holies once a year. Their animal blood only made
people ceremonially clean, but could not cleanse the
conscience.

11-28: Christ entered the heavenly Holy of Holies, offering
His own blood once for all, removing all guilt, obtaining an
eternal redemption. Therefore His blood cleanses our
conscience, brings us into the presence of God, inaugurates
the New Covenant, and assures His return for our salvation
rather than judgment for sin.

We should remain confident in Christ, because He is the priest
of a better sanctuary.

Have you heard Christ died for our sins, and God raised Him
from the dead? Did you know God saves you from hell and
gives you eternal life through faith in this finished work alone,
not your merits (Jn. 3:16; 1 Cor. 15:1-3; Eph. 2:8-10; 2 Thess.
1:8-9)? This is so man cannot boast, and God alone gets the
glory (Eph. 2:8-9).
