Full Access To God Only Comes Through Jesus Christ!
Main Idea: Access to God temporarily restricted under the Old Covenant!
• Access is restricted by its earthly sanctuary (1-5)  An outer tent (the Holy Place) (2) Lampstand Table and Bread of the Presence  An inner tent (the Holy of Holies) (3-5) The Altar of Incense (in between) The Ark of the Covenant, containing…. Golden urn with manna Aaron’s staff that budded Tables of the covenant Cherubim overshadowing the mercy seat
• Access is restricted by its regulations for worship (6-9)  Priests regularly service the outer tent (Holy Place) (6)  High Priests enter the Holy of Holies (7) Only once per year, must have blood  Neither section accessible to the people (8) First section restricts access to second Symbolizes “present ageâ€
• But this is God’s design: The Old gives way to the New! (9-10)  Old cultic system unable to perfect the conscience!  Old cultic system is “external† A temporary system until the time of reformation!  Christ enables our entry by His own blood! (Hb 10:19)
Application
We must not leave Christianity for some kind of works-based system which can do nothing to free our consciences from guilt!
