A) If animal sacrifices helped people by symbolically pointing to Jesus, How much more with the real deal mean? And if the true Lamb of God, through the Holy Spirit’s power, presented Himself to the Father, won’t that work a billion times better? B) The cleansing of the conscience. Not some mystical or theoretical human cover-up. The mind that is freshly renewed by the blood of Jesus is the mind that fights against a defiled conscience. It’s real power. C) This is why you and I can present ourselves to the Lord for service. Not because we are self-worthy but because we are Christ-willing to serve. A defiled mind (not momentary but continually defiled) cannot serve God or His Kingdom. D) This is why Jesus is the Mediator of the New Covenant. ONLY He can genuinely bridge the gap between Man and God because He is both Man, and God.
