“Christ did not enter the most Holy Place, which was man-made, a only opy of the real one. No, He went into Heaven to appear before God for us.” Heb 9:24 (Simple English Bible)
No wonder Jesus is the only Name by which we can be saved! We often think of Christ’s sacrifice as a physical and emotional one. Being beaten and tortured before the Roman crucified Him was bad enough. The agony on the Cross has often been portrayed in books and movies — we are all familiar with His suffering and death. But this isn’t the whole story. Jesus appeared before His Father on our behalf to expropriate our sins! He entered the real Holy Place for us. Our sins have been forgiven because of His appeal to the Father.
Jesus is our true Advocate, our spiritual Lawyer, our Speaker of Mercy. No one else in the entire history of the world has that authority, power or ability to do this. Many holy men are admired from Moses to Mohammed but they all died and none of them could represent us before God Almighty. Only Jesus could do that!
He is our true Savior. That is why we praise His name above all others!
