Once for All

Heb. 9;24-28

For Christ has entered, not into holy places made with hands, which are copies of the true things, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God on our behalf. Nor was it to offer himself repeatedly, as the high priest enters the holy places every year with blood not his own, for then he would have had to suffer repeatedly since the foundation of the world. But as it is, he has appeared once for all at the end of the ages to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself. And just as it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment, so Christ, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to deal with sin but to save those who are eagerly waiting for him.

What a glorious passage! Christ now appears on our behalf in the presence of God as our mediator. He is there for us constantly! Where would I be without Him as my mediator? Secondly, he came once for all to put away sin by His own personal sacrifice. So that my sin is no longer held against me. He covered the debt of my sin and the sins of the entire world. Thirdly, He will appear a second time for those who eagerly await Him. That is me!! He is coming back again to claim those who are His and take them home to heaven for eternity where we will be praising and rejoicing constantly. 

Father,

As I read these verses, my heart is stirred to rejoicing. I praise You, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit for all that you have done and do in my life on a daily basis. 

In Jesus name,

Amen
