Our Man in Heaven Under the Old Testament law (see Leviticus 16), only one day each year on Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur), the High Priest entered the Most Holy Place. As God instructed, the High Priest entered two times, first for his own sins, then for those of the people. He entered in simple linen garments, a man for men. He entered only with blood – of a substitute that was ceremonially spotless. He brought the blood amidst the smoke of incense, for the Holy God could not stand face to face with this sinful man even then. “Only the high priest goes into the Most Holy Place, and only once a year, and always with blood, which he offers to God to cover his own sins and the sins the people have committed in ignorance” (Heb 9:7). But we have a High Priest, who entered heaven itself, into the very presence of God . . . “So Christ has now become the High Priest over all the good things that have come. He has entered that great, perfect sanctuary in heaven, not made by human hands and not part of this created world. Once for all time he took blood into that Most Holy Place, but not the blood of goats and calves. He took his own blood, and with it he secured our salvation forever” (Heb. 9:11-12). No cloud of incense hid him from the face of God. Every detail of his life was presented in full view of the Father. And on this judgment of the Son – for a while made lower than the angels, rested all the hopes of fallen man. On Him – rested the eternal destiny of all His people. For if this life had not been acceptable, if it had any spot or blemish, no human life would ever have been acceptable to the Father, and no descendant of Adam could ever have been rescued from moral guilt and deserved punishment. Jesus appeared in the presence of God for us. And in him –praise God! – the Father found no fault . . . . Ten days after Jesus' ascension on the great day of Pentecost, the Holy Spirit descended. This was important for many reasons; among the most important being that it signified to his disciples the complete acceptability of Jesus' offering. That occasion heralded the beginning of the End Time and marked the release of all the blessings of salvation to the Christian community that was born that day. The work that secured salvation was finished. Because it was finished, it was unrepeatable, and because it was unrepeatable, it was secure. James Cole
