I don’t know about you but there is something great about getting home after you’ve done some work and sitting down on the settee with a coffee and a good book!
I’m sure you are the same; you sit down when you’ve done some work.
Under the law (the Old Covenant) priests had to work continually to deal with the sins of the people.
They could cover the sin but not deal with it completely (Hebrews 10 v 9).
So in Hebrews 10 v 11 we see that the priests are standing.
Yet in Hebrews 10 v 12 we see that after dealing with sin (once and once only) Jesus sat down.
This is a picture showing that Jesus’ work was finished, but the work of the priests was never finished.
The law could never completely deal with sin, but Jesus did!
Under the New Covenant (under grace) sin is not an issue for God any more; it has been dealt with once and for all (Hebrews 10 v 12).
Under grace (the New Covenant) sin has already been dealt with, so there are no more offerings required.
Jesus does not need to get off His seat to sort out sin ever again; He did it once and once only on the cross.
Law was always about what men had to do, grace is all about what Jesus has done.
Speak this out today…..”Thank you Lord for the finished work of Jesus and thank you that I live under grace and not under law”.
Hebrews 10 v 11 and 12…..And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins: But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God
