Access to the Most Holy
Place
The second once and for all
phenomenon, is Man's access to the Most Holy Place in the presence of the Most
High: The scripture states quite clearly that, “the Holy Spirit indicating this
that, the way into the Holiest of All was not yet made manifest while the first
tabernacle was still standing.” But Jesus Christ with His own blood entered the
Most Holy Place once for all, having obtained eternal redemption”. So now, we
can come boldly to the throne of grace that we may obtain mercy and find grace
to help in time of need (Hebrews 9:8, 12:
4:16).
We have also been instructed saying; “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; not that He
should offer Himself often, as the high priest enters the Most Holy Place every
year with blood of another ---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” (Hebrews 9:24-26).
The implementation of this
second once and for all phenomenon is the sacrificial body of Jesus Christ who
according to the apostle Paul is, a new and living way which Christ consecrated
for us, through the veil, that is, His flesh, but this act although it is a once
and for all occurrence, but it is being perpetuated and represents the
sacrificial body of Christ by partaking of unleavened bread during the
communion service, for as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you
proclaim the Lord's death till He comes.
One must also take into
consideration the fact that, without holiness and peace no one can see the Lord,
so even though Jesus Christ once and for all gave us access to the Father, nevertheless,
because no one can say that I have no sin, or I have not sinned it is imperative
that the worshiper follow the necessary established protocol by which one becomes
holy, perfect, and irreproachable before the Father, because it is only if one
is in the light as Jesus Christ is in the light that on can have fellowship with
the Father.
