Hebrews 9 · Grade 3
The Holy of Holies
Read the Story
Hebrews 9 describes the tabernacle. In the first part were the lampstand, the table, and the show bread. It was called the Holy Place. Behind the second veil was the Holy of Holies. It held the golden altar of incense and the ark of the covenant, with the jar of manna, Aaron’s rod that budded, and the tablets of the covenant.
Priests went into the first room often. But only the high priest went into the second room, once a year. The Holy Spirit showed that the way into the Holy Place was not yet open.
Then Christ came as high priest. He entered into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for his people. He did not need to offer himself again and again. He offered himself once, and he will appear a second time to save those who are eagerly waiting for him.
