Here is a wonderful and marvelous thought to think. It comes from Hebrews 9:24: "For Christ did not enter a holy place made with hands." We know He entered a holy place and that He is there as a great high priest on behalf of his people. This text, however, places that reality into its greatest and highest context, and it informs us about how unique and special Jesus is.

This text tells us that the life of Christ in the world is a God-thing; it's not a man thing. This is a God thing. Jesus is God's response to the human situation -- and what a response it is. God is with us is history in the person of Jesus. God is with us in redemptive love. His love is revealed in His sacrificial self-giving on the cross. His love is made real to us in the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

God is with us. He is present with us according to the power of Jesus indestructible life (See Heb. 7:16). Isn't that amazing? Whatever it means for you to live, the indestructible life of Jesus is with you. You may, in fact, be destructible; Jesus isn't. The indestructible life of Jesus has taken the blow, and today He is speaking to the Father on your behalf. This is a God-thing.

Under the influence of His indestructible life Jesus has made purification of sins and, He has set down in heaven beside the Father, indicating that His work is complete and that now He is free to be in the presence of the Father on behalf of the world and on behalf of those who have come to trust their lives to Him.

Let the Church know that it is being prayed for by Her Lord Jesus. Let the church know that Jesus' indestructible life sets the atmosphere in the church. Let the Church know that Jesus lives to address the destructive influences that seek to destroy people. Let the church know that it comes into the place of ministry not in its own strength but in the strength of the indestructible life of the risen Lord.
