The Holiest of All by Andrew Murray eBook & audio book

Holiest of All: Meditations on the Book of Hebrews "What teaching is needed to give health and vigor to the Christian life in order that, through all adverse circumstances, it may hold fast from the beginning, firm until the end? The teaching of the epistle of Hebrews is the divine answer to [this question]. In every possible way, it sets before us the truth that only the full and perfect knowledge of who Christ is and what He does for us can bring us to a full and perfect Christian life."

<strong>The</strong> blood <strong>of</strong> Jesus. T/te life is the blood. As the value<br />

<strong>of</strong> this life, so the value <strong>of</strong> the blood. In Christ there was the<br />

life <strong>of</strong> God<br />

; infinite as God is the worth and the power <strong>of</strong> that<br />

blood. In Christ there was the life <strong>of</strong> man in its perfection ;<br />

in<br />

His humility, and obedience to the Father, and self-sacrifice, that<br />

which made Him unspeakably well-pleasing to the Father.<br />

That<br />

blood <strong>of</strong> Jesus, God and man, poured out in a death, that was<br />

a perfect fulfilment <strong>of</strong> God's will, and a perfect victory over all<br />

the temptations <strong>of</strong> sin and self, effected an everlasting atonement<br />

for sin, and put it for ever out <strong>of</strong> the way, destroying death and<br />

him that had the power <strong>of</strong> it. <strong>The</strong>refore it was, that in the<br />

blood <strong>of</strong> the everlasting covenant Jesus was raised from the<br />

dead ; that in His own blood, as our Head and Surety, He<br />

entered heaven ; and that that blood is now for ever in heaven,<br />

in the same place <strong>of</strong> honour as God the Judge <strong>of</strong> all, and Jesus<br />

the Mediator (xii. 24). It is this blood, now in heaven before<br />

God for us, that is our boldness to enter in, even into the very<br />

<strong>Holiest</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>All</strong>.<br />

Beloved Christian ! <strong>The</strong> blood <strong>of</strong> Jesus ! <strong>The</strong> blood <strong>of</strong> the<br />

Lamb ! Oh think what it means. God gave it for your redemption.<br />

God accepted it when His Son entered heaven and<br />

presented it on your behalf. God has it for ever in His sight as<br />

the fruit, the infinitely w^ell-pleasing pro<strong>of</strong>, <strong>of</strong> His Son's obedience<br />

unto death. God points you to it and asks you to believe in<br />

the divine satisfaction it gives to Him, in its omnipotent energy,<br />

in its everlasting sufficiency. Oh, will you not this day believe<br />

that that blood gives you, sinful and feeble as you are, liberty,<br />

confidence, boldness to draw nigh, to enter the very <strong>Holiest</strong> ?<br />

Yes, believe it, that the blood and the blood alone, brings you<br />

into the very presence, into the living and abiding fellowship<br />

the everlasting God. And let your response to God's message<br />
