IN THE SHADOW part 1

October 11, 2020

Hebrews 8:5—These serve as a copy and shadow of the heavenly things, as Moses was warned when he was about to complete the tabernacle. For God said, Be careful that you make everything according to the pattern that was shown to you on the mountain.

(Ref: Exodus ch. 27 and 28)

Jesus is the LAMB of God who atones for  YOUR SIN so that God may DWELLL (tabernacle)

with you when you admit your GUILT and receive His. GRACE !

John 1:14—The Word became flesh and dwelt among us.

John 1:29—The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, “Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!”

Hebrews 9:13-14— For if the blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a young cow, sprinkling those who are defiled, sanctify for the purification of the flesh, how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without blemish to God, cleanse our consciences from dead works so that we can serve the living God?

Hebrews 9:24-26— For Christ did not enter a sanctuary made with hands (only a model of the true one) but into heaven itself, so that He might now appear in the presence of God for us. He did not do this to offer Himself many times, as the high priest enters the sanctuary yearly with the blood of another.

1 Corinthians 5:7— … For Christ our Passover lamb has been sacrificed.

Romans 3:23-26— For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God; they are justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus. God presented Him as the mercy seat by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His restraint God passed over the sins previously committed. God presented Him to demonstrate His righteousness at the present time, so that He would be just and justify the one who has faith in Jesus.
