Our King-Priest Has Freed Us

But now the Anointed One has become the King-Priest of every wonderful thing that has come. For He serves in a greater, more perfect heavenly tabernacle not made by men. And He has entered once and forever into the Holiest Sanctuary of All, not with the blood of animal sacrifices, but the sacred blood of His own sacrifice. And He alone has made our salvation secure forever! ⁣ ⁣ Under the old covenant the blood of bulls, goats, and the ashes of a heifer were sprinkles on those who were defiled and effectively cleansed them outwardly from their ceremonial impurities. Yet how much more will the sacred blood of the Messiah thoroughly cleanse our consciences! For by the power of the eternal Spirit He has offered Himself to God as the perfect sacrifice that now frees us from our dead works to worship and serve the living God. ⁣ ⁣ So Jesus is the one who has enacted a new covenant with a new relationship with God so that those who accept the invitation will receive the eternal inheritance He has promised to His heirs. For He died to release us from the guilt of the violations committed under the first covenant. Hebrews 9:11-15 tpt
