La Purificación de los Pecados

Image
Habiendo logrado la purificación de los pecados, Jesús se sentó a la diestra de Dios donde intercede por su pueblo como su Sumo Sacerdote . Un punto clave de la Carta a los Hebreos es la victoria del Hijo en nombre de su pueblo y su exaltación a la “ diestra ” de Dios como su Sumo Sacerdote. Jesús aseguró lo que ninguno de sus predecesores pudo hacer jamás. A través de su sacrificio “ una vez por todas ”, él “ logró la purificación de los pecados ” y “ se sentó ” en el “ verdadero y mayor Tabernáculo ” donde ahora intercede por sus santos.

Nuestro Gran Sumo Sacerdote

Jesús es el Sumo Sacerdote del santuario mayor "hecho sin manos" prefigurado por el Antiguo Tabernáculo . Jesús es el Sumo Sacerdote que sirve en el “ Verdadero Tabernáculo erigido por el Señor y no por el hombre ” y presagiado por las estructuras religiosas y los rituales del Antiguo Israel. El Hijo de Dios se ha convertido en nuestro “ sacerdote para siempre ” que ministra por nosotros “ a la diestra del Trono de la Majestad en los Cielos ” – (Hebreos 8:1-2).

Our Great High Priest

Jesus is the High Priest of the greater sanctuary “made without hands” foreshadowed by the Ancient Tabernacle . Jesus is the High Priest who serves in the “ True Tabernacle pitched by the Lord and not man ” and foreshadowed by the religious structures and rituals of Ancient Israel. The Son of God has become our “ priest forever ” who ministers for us “ at the right hand of the Throne of the Majesty in the Heavens ” – (Hebrews 8:1-2).

His Narrow Path

Jesus proclaimed the Kingdom of God, a realm that differs radically from the governments and ideologies of the modern world . Jesus arrived in Galilee proclaiming the “ Kingdom of God ” – “ Repent, for the kingdom is at hand .” In his ministry, the reign of God was invading the Earth. However, the nature of his realm was radically different than the governments and political ideologies of the existing world order, and more than once, Jesus refused political power, especially when offered by Satan.

The Dead in Christ

Foundational to our future hope is bodily resurrection when Jesus arrives in glory to gather and meet his saints . Paul’s description of the “ arrival ” or ‘ Parousia ’ of Jesus in his first letter to the Thessalonians was written to comfort believers over the fate of their compatriots who die before Christ’s return. We need not sorrow “ like the others ” since the righteous dead will be resurrected when the Lord “ arrives ” from Heaven. This hope is based on the sure foundation of Christ’s past Death and Resurrection.

Christ or Caesar

Jesus refused the political power of Rome when Satan offered it. So, why do we insist on seeking the very thing our Master rejected? The teachings of Jesus and his Apostles in multiple ways summon Christians not to be “ unequally yoked together ” with this world and its values. What humanity needs is the Good News of the Kingdom of God and the salvation provided by Jesus Christ. Since the “ forms ” of this present age are in the process of “ passing away ,” the Church should not waste its efforts on “ working for the meat that perishes ”?
