"We are completely free to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus," Hebrews 10:19.
That's where God's presence, his glory, lives: the Most Holy Place. And why may we enter boldly into God's presence? Because Jesus' crucified body opened up the massive curtain that locked us outside. Jesus' blood, sprinkled on our hearts, cleansed evil consciences. He washed our bodies in pure water. And now we, sanctified by Jesus, have the right to stand in the glory of God! We, all of us priests, surround the sky throne. Feet on earth, hearts in heaven. Stirring up one another to love and good deeds, fellowshipping together: This is priestly service! God's sky temple opens wide to transform this world.
We see the last Day coming closer, so today, with a brother or sister, we give heart to one another and realize service in God's temple. And, together, we give humble, joyful thanks that God makes us his temple, his home.
