"Now the main point...is this: We...have...a high priest...who serves...." (Hebrews 8:a)
I also think that what follows is, "the main point," of the Bible, "the...point," to which, as our Lord called it, "the work of God," takes humanity.
For just a moment, think of our Lord Jesus Christ, "Who serves [us] in the sanctuary," right now, right in the midst of whatever is before you. This, "main point," for humanity is also revealed in Revelation 3, "to sit with Me in My Throne." This is none other than, "the throne of the Majesty in heaven," which is in, "the sanctuary, the true tabernacle set up by the Lord...." This is, "the main point," of the Bible. High places, priests, meeting places of brick and stone, pilgrimages, none of these were, "the main point;" they just pointed to Jesus Christ Who Is, "the main point."
Today you have many tasks before you, some completed, and those many uncompleted which seem to mock you, even appearing as tasks which will never know an end. But while there are times when, as Brother Lawrence called it, "Practicing The Presence," seems impossible, Jesus Christ, our, "Great High Priest...Who serves," is, "in the sanctuary, the true tabernacle set up by the Lord, not by a mere human being." And while He brings us into, "the Most Holy Place," in Himself, Jesus at the same time brings, "the Most Holy Place," into us. He, "serves," continually, never taking a "break," never weary, "there is, 'no shadow of turning,' with Thee."
Today take great comfort in the fact that you don't have to get to a meeting, a "prayer closet," some deep, emotional "worship experience," or "presence" gathering. The Living Triune God never leaves us and we never leave Him; our state is one of continual "Presence" in Him Who ever, "serves." "....The main point of what we are saying is this."
Father, in Jesus' Name, I pray that my friend and I will live in Your, "main point," at all times. Amen.
