What did Christ obtain for us by entering the holy place with His own shed blood?
By His own blood, not the blood of goats and calves, Christ entered once into the holy place in heaven, not an earthly tabernacle. As our high priest, through the divine shed blood from His crucifixion, He obtained eternal redemption for us.
Les teaches that Paul's reference to a tabernacle not made with men's hands is not on this earth or this creation, but in heaven itself, into the very throne room. In ancient Israel, the high priest went through and sprinkled blood on the mercy seat. Christ did the same, but instead of entering the tabernacle of Israel or Solomon's temple, He entered the tabernacle in heaven. Verse 12 says He entered once into the holy place not by the blood of goats and calves but by His own blood. The back room behind the veil was the holy of holies, the holy place. Christ did not go into the earthly one; as our high priest He went into the holy place in heaven, having brought the divine shed blood from His own crucifixion, and thereby obtained eternal redemption for us.
Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.
