LESSON 3 * PART 4 * BOOK 50
Hebrews 8:11 – 9:14 - Part 2

Hebrews 9:11a
In heaven. It’s going to be beyond human comprehension. Alright, so verse 11, finishing it.
Hebrews 9:11b
Hebrews 9:12
"Neither by the blood of goats and calves, (as we just saw in the previous verses in our last program) but by his own blood (the Blood of the Cross, on Calvary as the high priest entered behind the veil with the blood of an animal. This high Priest, Christ Jesus Himself) enters into the holy place, (in heaven. In other words into the presence of God the Father. Not with the blood of bulls and calves) having obtained eternal redemption for us."
With His own Blood we have the redemption. How did He approach the Father in the Holy of Holies in heaven presenting His own Blood at the Mercy Seat of the Throne Room? Remember Aaron and the following priests came in behind the veil with the blood of animals, so Christ came in with His own Blood. I think we did it when we taught the gospel of John verse by verse. John 20:1
when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulchre."
John 20:2
Peter doesn’t say, "Well, Mary, we know! John 20:3
"Peter therefore went forth, and the other disciple, and came to the sepulchre."
With all those Roman guards stationed with threat of their lives if anybody would try to take the corpse. John 20:4
"So they ran both together: and the other disciple did outrun Peter, and came first to the sepulchre."
I think this is all so practical because we’re pretty confident that Peter was quite a bit older than John and so the young man shows his athletic ability. And so John outruns Peter, and gets to the sepulchre first. But of course, John is more timid than Peter and so he doesn’t go right in. John 20:5-6
So Peter) went into the sepulchre, and seeth the linen clothes lie." Now verse 7.
John 20:7
John 20:8
John 20:9
"For as yet they (Peter and John and I guess I can safely include Mary Magdalene) knew not the scripture, that he must rise again from the dead." Plain English. Now verse 10:
John 20:10-11
"Then the disciples went away again unto their own home. 11. But Mary stood without at the sepulchre weeping: and as she wept, she stooped down, and looked into the sepulchre,"
What in the world caused Peter and John to exit so quickly and go? Angels.
John 20:12-15a
13. And they say unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? 15. Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? Whom seeketh thou? Why, first and foremost does not Mary recognize the resurrected Christ? Why do you suppose Mary did not recognize Jesus, as He’s now standing there in human form, bodily? Isaiah 52:13-14a
All the way up through human history, they have been able to torture men beyond human comprehension, but,nobody under the most extreme torture ever had their facial appearance so distorted and so marred as Christ’s was on the Cross. All the sin of the world was laid on Christ as He hung on that Cross. Alright, so now if you’ll come back to John, use just a little bit of human logic. Looking at verse 15 again:
John 20:15b
Now Jesus speaks in verse 16.
John 20:16a
"Jesus saith unto her, Mary…."
Iris and I are learning that when we’re in strange places people recognize our voice far before they’ll recognize our facial appearance and you just watch for it. John 20:16b
"…She turned herself, and saith unto him, Rabboni; which is to say, Master." John 20:17a
"Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not:…’"
Mary, don’t you hug me. Why?
John 20:17b-19
18. Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and that he had spoken these things unto her. Back to Hebrews chapter 9 verses 11 and 12 again:
Hebrews 9:11-12a
"But Christ (Jesus of Nazareth, the crucified, now resurrected) being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, (in other words, this glorious tabernacle in the heavenlies) 12. Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place,…" Not the one behind the veil as it was on earth, but he entered into the Holy of Holies in the Heavenlies, into the very presence of the merciful, gracious God, not with the blood of bulls and calves but with his own Blood.
Alright verses 13 and 14:
Hebrews 9:13-14
"For if the blood of bulls and goats, or the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, (if it could) sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh: (in that old economy) 14. How much more(oh, beyond comparison!) shall the blood of Christ, (you cannot compare the efficacy of animal’s blood with this divine Blood of Christ) who through the eternal Spirit offered himself (as the supreme sacrifice. When we come in under that shed Blood of Christ by faith in His death, burial and resurrection; we now have full access to God.
