Christ Ministers in the Heavenly Sanctuary

1

The point of what we are saying is this: We do have such a high priest, who sat down at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven,

2

and who ministers in the sanctuary and true tabernacle set up by the Lord, not by man.

3

And since every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices, it was necessary for this One also to have something to offer.

4

Now if He were on earth, He would not be a priest, since there are already priests who offer gifts according to the law.

5

The place where they serve is a copy and shadow of what is in heaven. This is why Moses was warned when he was about to build the tabernacle: “See to it that you make everything according to the pattern shown you on the mountain.”

6

Now, however, Jesus has received a much more excellent ministry, just as the covenant He mediates is better and is founded on better promises.
