After Jesus said, “It is finished,” and died on the cross, the veil of the earthly temple was torn in two, from top to bottom. (See John 19:30 and Matthew 27:51.) The Holy Ghost came out of an earthly tabernacle that was made with the hands of men, never again to live therein, but to come and live in your heart and my heart. And that’s why we become temples of the Living God. For God has said, “I will dwell in them. I will walk in them. I will be their God.
They will be My people.” (See 2 Corinthians 6:16.) You are the temple of the living God, and the blood of Jesus washes you clean so He can come and live on the inside of you. Hallelujah! Now, look at that last verse: For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us.
When Jesus ascended, He went right into heaven to the real temple, not the type and shadow on earth. He took His own blood and made sure that heaven’s court was satisfied, that the price for the sin of man was paid. And it was paid for good. Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others; For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself. HEBREWS 9:25-26
It’s done. There’s no more sacrifice. And yet it seems the modern-day church is always trying to sacrifice something, I’m convinced that if some people could, they would sacrifice another bull or goat, because they don’t know what was purchased at Calvary They don’t know when Jesus said, “It is finished,” He meant it. As it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation. HEBREWS 9:27-28
The blood of Jesus has the purchasing power to redeem a sinner from the jaws of hell. I don’t care who they are or what they’ve done. The blood can set them free. We were purchased with that blood. Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood. ACTS 20:28 If you’re the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, you do not belong to yourself anymore. You belong to Him. You have been purchased by His blood. I belong to Jesus. I’ve been purchased by His blood. I’m His personal property Written on my heart is “Personal Property of the Lord Jesus Christ.”
