The New Sanctuary

“We have then, brothers, complete confidence through the blood of Jesus in entering the sanctuary, by a new way which he has opened for us, a living opening through the curtain, that is, his flesh.” (Hebrews 10:19)

Jesus Christ, the priest, the victim and the altar has given us a new way of entering God’s holy presence in the new dispensation. That new way and better promise is the Eucharist. The blood of Christ shed for me makes me confident as I go to drink with joy from the spring of salvation flowing from the living opening, which is the flesh of Jesus Christ.

In this same Jesus, “We have the high priest over all the sanctuary of God.” (Hebrews 10:21). Jesus Christ is the high priest who celebrates the Eucharist. Thank you Jesus for fulfilling this better promise.
