Hebrews 9:24
For Christ is not entered into the holy places
made with hands, which
are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in
the presence of God for us:
Someone
challenged me the other day and said that I could not prove that Jesus left
Judaism. I offer this verse as proof to the contrary.
The
Bible says Christ did not enter into those holy places made by men, but into
heaven itself. The passage goes on to tell us that all those man made
structures were to prefigure that which is real in heaven. They were not real
in and of themselves – ever.
But
we are not in heaven, someone will argue. That is true. Today we have a new
place to worship in; a place not constructed by the hands of man but built by
Christ Himself. He promised He would build His church. That's not a building of
wood or stone. His building is made up of men and women who:
- have professed faith in Christ
- been baptized by immersion as a sign of
their faith and
- committed themselves together in union for
His cause
That's
a Baptist Church!
