“…so Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many; and he will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him.” Hebrews 9:28

As people die once, so “Christ died once” – not like the repeated sacrifices of the Levitical system. But unlike people, Christ did not die and face judgment. He died once to appear a second time for the last judgment.

“Not to bear sin” means He comes without our sins, which He bore when the Father made Him to be sin for us. Also, He comes not in the likeness of sinful flesh, but in the majesty of His transfigured body.

Christ will come from His heavenly sanctuary and take us to Himself. Our greatest joy should be Jesus and His priestly ministry, for He delighted in us, making us the heirs of His last will and testament.

God’s blessings on your day…
