Heb 9:8 | MHM | STEP | The Priesthood of Christ In this section, the apostle explains how the Holy Spirit uses the Old Testament tabernacle and its rituals to teach important lessons. These old laws and ceremonies were not just for the Jews of that time, but they also help Christians today understand more about Jesus and his work as our High Priest. The Old Testament points forward to Christ, and we learn best when we connect these symbols to Jesus. v. 8 : The Holy Spirit shows that the way into the Most Holy Place was not open as long as the first tabernacle was still in use. This means that, before Jesus came, people could not come freely to God. Now, because of Christ, the way to God is clear and open (Hebrews 9:8 ).

The Priesthood of Christ

In this section, the apostle explains how the Holy Spirit uses the Old Testament tabernacle and its rituals to teach important lessons. These old laws and ceremonies were not just for the Jews of that time, but they also help Christians today understand more about Jesus and his work as our High Priest. The Old Testament points forward to Christ, and we learn best when we connect these symbols to Jesus.

v. 8: The Holy Spirit shows that the way into the Most Holy Place was not open as long as the first tabernacle was still in use. This means that, before Jesus came, people could not come freely to God. Now, because of Christ, the way to God is clear and open (Hebrews 9:8 ^a).
