Jesus is currently in the Most Holy place in the heavenly Sanctuary.
It is imperative that we center our focus on Christ death – His sacrifice, and His finishing work as our mediator, in the heavenly sanctuary.
Jesus’ work in the sanctuary as our High Priest, is to establish reconciliation between us and God. In other words to bring us to a point where we can be counted As ONE with God – to reach a state of sinlessness.
Jesus wants to cleanse our hearts from sin. We, however, need to cooperate with Him. We need to surrender our hearts to Him, to be cleansed from all sin.
Jesus is currently busy with the final part of His mediatorial work.
The fulfilment of prophetic events during these last days serves as a clear indication that the work of the cleansing of sin is almost completed!
The case of each and every individual must be investigated. This is called the investigative judgment.
The commandments will be the standard by which the judgments will take place.
“The subject of the sanctuary and the investigative judgment should be clearly understood by the people of God.
All need a knowledge for themselves of the position and work of their great High Priest. Otherwise it will be impossible for them to exercise the faith which is essential at this time or to occupy the position which God designs them to fill… Each must meet the great judge face to face. How important, then, that every mind contemplate often the solemn scene when the judgment shall sit and the books shall be opened, when, with Daniel, every individual must stand in his lot, at the end of the days”(CIHS 124.3).
“The intercession of Christ in man’s behalf in the sanctuary above is as essential to the plan of salvation as was His death upon the cross. By His death He began that work which after His resurrection He ascended to complete in heaven”(CIHS 125.2).
Jesus’ death on the cross was the first phase of the plan of redemption.
The Lamb of God that was slain in the courtyard – which represents Jesus. We need to: “Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.”(John 1:29).
Our FOCUS is central to Christ’s death and mediatorial (finishing) work in the Most Holy place of the heavenly sanctuary.
