By his death, Jesus opened a new and life-giving way through the curtain into the Most Holy Place. And since we have a great High Priest who rules over God\u2019s house, let us go right into the presence of God with sincere hearts fully trusting him. For our guilty consciences have been sprinkled with Christ\u2019s blood to make us clean, and our bodies have been washed with pure water.<\/em> (Hebrews 10:19-22 NLT)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Think about it\u2014the blood of goats and rams granted limited access but was a harbinger to Jesus\u2019 Blood, which granted full access to the presence of God!<br><br><em>he entered once for all into the holy places, not by means of the blood of goats and calves but by means of his own blood, thus securing an eternal redemption<\/em>.
