THE SUPERIOR SANCTUARY
Hebrews 9
The Inferior Old Covenant Sanctuary (Heb. 9:1–10)
What was it, then, that made the tabernacle inferior?
It was an earthly sanctuary (v. 1).
It was a type of something greater (vv. 2–5).
It was inaccessible to the people (vv. 6–7).
It was temporary (v. 8).
Its ministry was external, not internal (vv. 9–10).
The Superior Heavenly Sanctuary (Heb. 9:11–28)
It is heavenly (v. 11).
Its ministry is effective to deal with sin (vv. 12–15).
John 1:29
Ceremonial cleansing and conscience cleansing (vv. 13–14).
2 Cor. 3:1–3
Temporary blessings and eternal blessings (v. 15).
Eph. 1:3
Its ministry is based on a costly sacrifice (vv. 16–23).
Luke 22:20
Its ministry represents fulfillment (v. 24).
Its ministry is final and complete (vv. 25–28).
So What?
The believer’s sanctuary is in heaven. His Father is in heaven and his Savior is in heaven. His citizenship is in heaven (Phil. 3:20) and his treasures should be in heaven (Matt. 6:19ff). And his hope is in heaven. The true believer walks by faith, not by sight. No matter what may happen on earth, a believer can be confident because everything is settled in heaven.
