The Crucified Messiah

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).

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).

The fullness, grace, and truth of God are found in the Word made Flesh, Jesus of Nazareth, who alone has seen the unseen God – John 1:14-18. The Prologue to the Gospel of John introduces key themes of the Book, including Life , Light , Witness , Truth , Glory , and Grace .  Jesus of Nazareth is the Light of the world, the source of Grace and Truth, the True Tabernacle in whom God dwells, the only born Son of God, and the only one who has seen the Father . The Prologue concludes by declaring that the Son is the only one qualified to interpret God since he alone has seen the Unseen God .

The  Gospel of John  begins by introducing key themes that are expanded in the body of the book -  Life ,  Light ,  Witness ,  Truth , and  Grace . Jesus is the Light of the World, the source of Grace and Truth, the True Tabernacle, and the only born Son of God who dwells in the “ bosom of the Father .” The Prologue concludes by declaring that he is qualified to interpret the unseen God since he alone has seen Him.

In the Gospel of John , Jesus is the Logos, the “ Word become flesh ” in whom the “ Glory of God ” resides. He is the Greater Tabernacle foreshadowed by the Tent that Israel carried in the wilderness, the place where the Glory of Yahweh was manifested. John’s declaration anticipates his later passages that link him to the Father. Jesus is the true and full manifestation of the Glory of the Living God who created all things.
