Hebrews 9:1-10: Speaking to us by His Son — God meets us in Christ, not the tent.

Rev. Nabil Nour of Trinity Lutheran Church in Hartford, SD joins host Rev. Brady Finnern to study Hebrews 9:1-10.

The author brings us back to the Tabernacle to show us Christ. As it has been said, “The Old Testament concealed—New Testament revealed.” Jesus says “I am the bread of life”, “I am the Light of the World”, “the temple”, and “this is my body and blood.” We hear these words and better understand that the bread of presence, the washings, the lampstand, the mercy seat, the sacrifices by the High priest IS CHRIST. The rituals of the Jewish people were pointing to Christ, but they did not give a clear conscience. It is only by Christ’s work & sacrifice where a worshiper receives full peace. “Lord God, the Prince of Peace, grant us Your peace as we see all the washings, sacrifices, buildings, and rituals knowing that You have done all the work of our salvation and still takes care of us. In Christ, Amen”
