SUMMARY OF CHAPTER NINE
Having reached the main point of the discussion in Chapter Eight which tells of Jesus-' ministry in connection with the new covenant, the ninth chapter explains the contrast between Christ's ministry in the greater and more perfect tabernacle with the work of the Old Testament priests in the earthly tabernacle which was built at Sinai.
The chapter begins with a brief description of the tabernacle and its furniture and proceeds to show something of its purpose and limitation. Its gifts and sacrifices could not cleanse the conscience of the worshipper.
But Christ's ministry in the tabernacle which was not of this creation did obtain eternal redemption through His own blood, This was in connection with His work as Mediator of the new covenant. His death provided redemption for those under the first covenant as well as for those under the new covenant. The shedding of His blood is explained by the example of the dedication of the first covenant·dedicated with blood which Moses sprinkled on both the book and the people and on everything connected with the tabernacle.
The meaning of Christ's sacrifice is explained over against the ceremony pertaining to atonement in connection with the first tabernacle.
The chapter closes with the warning that Christ, Who has gone into heaven to appear before the face of God, will appear again to those who wait for Him for salvation.
