Christ Entered Into Heaven
Hebrews 9:24 For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us:
God’s command for Israel to build the Tabernacle in the wilderness in Sinai and later the Temple in Jerusalem provided a picture of the presence of God with His people. It is a signification of the ultimate destination of the people of God in the presence of God in heaven.
The final revelation of God to His people was to send His only begotten Son Jesus Christ to enter human history. Jesus is the exact representation of God, He was the express image of the Person of God (Hebrews 1:2). The purpose of Jesus’ first coming was to bring salvation to all mankind who will turn to Him for the forgiveness of their sins.
The writer of Hebrews explained well in Hebrews 9:26-28 For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: 28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.
All the Way My Saviour Leads Me
Psalm 37:23 The steps of a goodman are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way.
This beloved gospel hymn was the expression of gratitude to God after a direct answer to prayer. It is reported that one day Fanny Crosby desperately needed five dollars and did not know where she could obtain this amount. As was her custom, she began to pray about this matter. Within a few minutes, a stranger appeared at her door with just the right amount. “I have no way of accounting for this,” she wrote, “except to believe that God, in answer to my prayer, put it into the heart of this good man to bring the money. My first thought was, it is so wonderful that way the Lord leads me. I immediately wrote the poem and Dr. Lowry set it to music.” The hymn first appeared in a Sunday School collection, Brightest and Best, compiled by William H. Doane and Robert Lowry in 1875.
Fanny Jane Crosby was born of humble parents at Southeast, New York, on March 24, 1823. She was blinded at the age of six weeks by improper medical treatment. Throughout her lifetime she was a faithful member of the St. John Methodist EpiscopalChurch in New York City. She was educated at the New York School for the Blind. From 1847 to 1858 she served as a teacher at this school. In 1858 she married a blind musician, Alexander Van Alstyne, a highly respected teacher of music at the blind institution.
