He sat down!

My friends, Jesus paid it all.

Remember, when Christ was raised from the dead, all of our sins were in the future. And when Christ ascended to the Father, what does the writer of the book of Hebrews says he did?

He sat down.

In the priestly context of the book of Hebrews, the author is drawing a deliberate contrast between the work of Christ and the work of the priests in the tabernacle. Of all of the furniture in the tabernacle, what piece of furniture was missing? It was a chair! Because the work of the priests were never done. By contrast, the Son sat down because he made full payment for all of our sins.

And if there is anyone here who has not gone to God with your load of guilt because you think your sin is too great or too repetitive or too willful, you are guilty of buying into this lie of the devil of belittling the cross.
