The
priest entered the holy place on behalf of the people. Jesus entered
the holy city, Jerusalem, on behalf of the people. The priest entered
with a sacrifice. Jesus Himself became the Sacrifice. Through Jesus
Christ, the perfect Sacrifice for our sins, we are able to come to God
and know that our prayer is heard and answered: āHear my cry for
mercy as I call to You for help, as I lift up my hands toward Your Most
Holy Placeā (Psalm 28:2).
Psalm 48:1-14 Lord, we worship You in the place of worship ā āWithin Your Temple, we meditate on Your unfailing love.ā Help us to go out from there, and play our part in seeing that Your praise āreaches to the ends of the earthā (Psalm 48:: 9-11). How will other people know of Your love, if we donāt tell them? How will they find their way to Your House, if we donāt invite them? When we share Your Word with others, help us to remember Your promise: āMy Word ⦠will not return to Me empty, but will ⦠achieve the purpose for which I sent itā (Isaiah 55:11).
