Hebrews 13:12 NKJV
Therefore Jesus also, that He might sanctify the people with His own blood, suffered outside the gate.
Hebrews 13:12 NKJV
Here, the writer explained the parallel between the covenant under the law and the new covenant under grace, the sacrifice of an animal and the sacrifice of Jesus.
After the animal has been killed, it has to be burned outside of the camp because the temple was regarded as the holy place, and the unclean carcasses of the animal, which are symbolic of sin, cannot be burned inside the Holy temple.
Jesus was not crucified inside the temple but outside, to be publicly displayed that He who is holy has been laid with the sins of the whole world.
This significant truth reveals the fulfilment of the law concerning the sins of the world. What does that mean to all mankind?
It means now the door to the eternal, pure, and holy life is open for everyone to enter and to dwell in. That door is Jesus Christ and His kingdom.
Everyone who does not enter will remain under satan's power, who is ready to steal, kill, and destroy lives.
The death of Jesus is an act of love to legally make way for all mankind to be saved. Once we enter, we have legal rights as His children to hold our position as His children and as an heir of His kingdom.
Everyone now has the ability to choose to receive Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour of their lives.
Jesus did not come to make our lives difficult or take the fun out of our lives. Jesus came to save mankind from the lies, tricks, traps, and eternal condemnation.
The devil highlights the initial hype to feel good and look good on Earth for people to see and hear. But it leads to addiction that cripples families, children, societies, and nations.
The abuse, the brokenness, the suicide, the pain, and the guilt are always hidden underneath satan's plans.
Therefore, the grace of God has appeared to all mankind in Jesus Christ so that all mankind now have a way, a door to enter in and be saved.
To those who have entered in, let us help others to see the way, the truth, and the life.
Live in the blessings,
Ps Ambrose.
