A daily devotional moment by Chris Garcia
Hebrews 10:19–25 (NKJV): Therefore, brethren, having boldness to enter the Holiest by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way which He consecrated for us, through the veil, that is, His flesh, and having a High Priest over the house of God, let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful. And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.
In a vision during worship today, I could see Jesus as our High Priest. In my vision, I saw the cross and as I was weeping, I could see He was as well. The feeling that we were one and the same was felt at that moment. As I was being broken by seeing Him, breaking down, I saw a Heavenly Tabernacle with Him standing there with incense burning. I could smell the holy aroma. It was a pure holy and innocent overwhelming feeling. I feel the love of Christ for us, and us for Him. Us coming to Him, through Him, and by Him. I feel that He was carrying our pain, suffering, and burdens. As the realization of Jesus being our High Priest settled in, I could feel how He sympathized with our weaknesses and Who was at all points tempted as we are. So I could feel the breaking and the identifications of our pains internally, God and Man. Internally like a permeant pain, like a beautiful suffering that He was holding on our behalf. It is difficult to articulate all the feelings at that moment as it was such a profound deep experience. As I was experiencing this, Hebrews 10:19-25 came to mind and when I asked Eric Gilmour what came to mind for him, it was similar and further tangible confirmation for me of His presence during our worship time today.
