The old c part one
Last time I did a list on forgiveness of sin in the bible. I want to go back and list the rest another time but I did that to show that God forgives sin and also say if your not forgiving you might not have the life of Jesus in you. In the next chapter in the book of Hebrews there is a ton of things about the old that Jesus filled them so it is going to be slow going here but I want to show the new and the old and compare. Maybe define some things and see where Jesus was in them.
Hebrews 9 Then indeed, even the first covenant had ordinances of divine service and the earthly sanctuary. 2 For a tabernacle was prepared: the first part, in which was the lampstand, the table, and the showbread, which is called the sanctuary; 3 and behind the second veil, the part of the tabernacle which is called the Holiest of All, 4 which had the golden censer and the ark of the covenant overlaid on all sides with gold, in which were the golden pot that had the manna, Aaron’s rod that budded, and the tablets of the covenant; 5 and above it were the cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy seat. Of these things we cannot now speak in detail.[1]
In 2 the Tabernacle was the first room in the holy of holies. In the room was the Lampstand pointing to Jesus as the light of the world, the showbread showing Jesus as the bread of the world and the table. In the next room they had the holy of holies where God met the priest and where Jesus is right now. Everything in the outer court has to do with the work of salvation. Bread is the word and the light is the spirit that gives to us the word of God to make us full of him each day. The rod was to show Jesus is alive and well and forever is there to take away my sins and keep me forever.
In 4 we see the things in the holy place and one is the Ark of the Covenant that has the commandments, and the rod that budded for Aaron. The ark was the place where God rules the world and where we need to make a place in our lives for him to rule. Above the ark is the mercy seat. Jesus came to give us mercy on the cross and then he gave grace to us. Mercy is withholding the things we should have had and grace is giving to me what I do not deserve.

Mercy is a concept that is lost on modern man because we do not understand the concept of an all mighty king who can do as he wills. People in the middle ages would have had a better understanding. John
