Welcome to Day 2261 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom Hebrews-15 Signed, Sealed, Delivered...In Blood \u2013 Daily Wisdom Putnam Church Message \u2013 08/06/2023 Signed, Sealed, Delivered\u2026In Blood! Hebrews 9:15-28 As we continued our extended series through the book of Hebrews in the New Testament last week, we explored the Reformation of Conscience. Only through the New Covenant and the heavenly Tabernacle can our body and soul be allowed access to God through our perfect High Priest, Jesus Christ. \xa0 This week, we will learn that to have hope of a future reward /and peace and joy in the present world, /we must embrace and embody the truth that we can escape tomorrow's judgment because today\u2019s sin is forgivable. \xa0 Let\u2019s read Hebrews 9:15-28 on page 1872 of your Pew Bible. 1 \xa015\xa0For this reason Christ is the mediator\xa0of a new covenant,\xa0that those who are called\xa0may receive the promised\xa0eternal inheritance\u2014now that he has died as a ransom to set them free from the sins committed under the first covenant. 16\xa0In the case of a will,[d]\xa0it is necessary to prove the death of the one who made it,\xa017\xa0because a will is in force only when somebody has died; it never takes effect while the one who made it is living.\xa018\xa0This is why even the first covenant was not put into effect without blood.\xa019\xa0When Moses had proclaimed\xa0every command of the law to all the people, he took the blood of calves,\xa0together with water, scarlet wool and branches of hyssop, and sprinkled the scroll and all the people.\xa020\xa0He said, \u201cThis is the blood of the covenant, which God has commanded you to keep.\u201d[e]\xa021\xa0In the same way, he sprinkled with the blood both the tabernacle and everything used in its ceremonies.\xa022\xa0In fact, the law requires that nearly everything be cleansed with blood,\xa0and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness. 23\xa0It was necessary, then, for the copies\xa0of the heavenly things to be purified with these sacrifices,/ but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.\xa024\xa0For Christ did not enter a sanctuary made with human hands that was only a copy of the true one;\xa0he entered heaven itself,\xa0/now to appear for us in God\u2019s presence.\xa025\xa0Nor did he enter heaven to offer himself again and again, the way the high priest enters the Most Holy Place\xa0every year with blood that is not his own.\xa026\xa0Otherwise Christ would have had to suffer many times since the creation of the world.\xa0But he has appeared\xa0once for all\xa0at the culmination of the ages to do away with sin by the sacrifice of himself.\xa027\xa0Just as people are destined to die once,\xa0and after that to face judgment,\xa028\xa0so Christ was sacrificed...
