The Most Holy Place

In the Old Testament the High Priest went into the Holy of Holies or The Most Holy Place once a year to offer sacrifice to Jehovah for the sins of the Israelites. He had to dress in garments prescribed specifically by Jehovah which included bells on the hem of the outer garment. A rope was tied to his leg so that if he was overcome by the holiness of the presence of the Most High God, the bells would jingle as he fell to the ground, and the people would pull him out of the Holy of Holies.

Where is The Most Holy Place today? In John 14 Jesus talked to his disciples about his need to go away so that the Holy Spirit could come into the world. In chapter 14:16-17 Jesus said “the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be IN (my emphasis) you. In 14:23 Jesus told his disciples “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him and WE (my emphasis) will come to him and make OUR (my emphasis) home with him. The Most Holy Place is within us. God, the Eternal Holy, the From Everlasting to Everlasting, the I AM THAT I AM lives within each of us, His chosen bride.

Think about what that means in your daily life. Where do you go? Who do you spend time with? What kind of language do you use? What do you watch on television? What kind of movies do you go see? What do you look at on the internet? What do you wear as you go out into the world? You cannot do anything as His bride without the Bridegroom being there with you. HE IS WHEREVER YOU ARE! That thought should make us take stock of all that we do as the people that are called by His name. It should also cause us to rejoice that our precious Savior, our coming Bridegroom is already here, within us, loving us, bringing the glory of heaven to bear on our very lives in this moment.

As I watch television news programs today and see the hatred that is so blatantly revealed toward God and His people, and the boldness of sinful behaviors, I know that He is coming soon for His bride. It is of ETERNAL importance that we be washed in the blood and made white as snow, without spot or blemish, for it is THAT bride for whom He is coming.

Even so, come Lord Jesus, come.
