Tozer -- Tozer Devotional Devotions » Tozer Devotional Sat, September 07, 2013 Our High Priest in the Heavenly Sanctuary The Scriptures assure us that there is a true tabernacle--a true sanctuary in heaven. Jesus our great High Priest is busy there. In that heavenly sanctuary is a continuing and effective altar. There is a mercy seat. Best of all, our Mediator and Advocate is there on our behalf. What an amazing truth! Amazing--and yet how difficult it seems for us to comprehend it and to count on it. In the light of God’s gracious revelation, I can only ask in humility and chagrin, “Why are we so ineffective in representing Him? Why are we so apathetic in living for Him and glorifying Him?” It is well for us to confess often that everything the Father has revealed concerning Jesus Christ is glorious. His past--as we would humanly look on the past--is glorious, for He made all things that were made. His work on earth as the Son of Man was glorious, for He effected the plan of salvation through His death and resurrection. Then He ascended into the heavenlies for His mediatorial ministries throughout this present age. Verse . . . We do have such a high priest, who sat down at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven, and who serves in the sanctuary, the true tabernacle set up by the Lord, not by man. Hebrews 8:1-2 Thought Christ is right now serving us in the heavenly sanctuary. Ought not we be serving Him here? He represents us there. We represent Him here. Prayer Make me a servant, Lord, Your servant here while You, the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, serve my interests at the throne of the Majesty in heaven.
