In the Old Testament, priests were set apart to stand before God inside the holy tabernacle. They represented the people and offered animals as sacrifices for the sins of the people, presenting them as a pleasing aroma to God. At the center of the tabernacle was the Most Holy Place, and in that place, only God was to dwell. It was an absolute place that no one else could occupy.
However, in the New Testament era, the curtain of the temple was torn. Through the once-for-all sacrifice of Jesus Christ, we now live in a time where the blood of animals is no longer needed. The sacrifices of the Old Testament were only a foreshadow, and Jesus Christ Himself became the perfect and complete sacrifice.
Now, God no longer dwells in a visible building made by human hands. Instead, our bodies, indwelt by the Holy Spirit, have become the living temple of God. In other words, what was once the tabernacle and the Most Holy Place in the Old Testament has now moved to the center of our heart. And in that Most Holy Place of the heart, Jesus Christ alone must dwell.
If anything else takes that place, no matter how good it may seem, it becomes an idol. Money, family, success, relationships, and even things done in the name of faith become idols the moment they replace Jesus Christ at the center of the heart.
When God calls us a “royal priesthood,” it means that we have been entrusted with the responsibility of guarding the Most Holy Place of the heart. The role of a priest is not to sit on that throne, but to empty it. The priestly calling is to lay down personal plans, desires, pride, and self-interest, and to place Jesus Christ alone on the throne at the center of the heart.
The mission of a priest today is not to live for personal benefit, but to live in obedience to the Word of God. Through our words, actions, choices, and attitudes, we offer a spiritual sacrifice to God—a beautiful aroma rising from our daily lives. This is true spiritual worship and a living sacrifice.
When we empty the Most Holy Place of the heart and welcome the Lord, our lives are moved from darkness into light. Through that light, we proclaim God’s light to a world still living in darkness.
As we fully surrender the authority of our lives to the Lord and place Jesus Christ at the center of our heart, God Himself takes responsibility for our lives. He leads us, protects us, and blesses us according to His perfect will. When we live as priests who honor the Most Holy Place of the heart, we walk in the light of God’s presence and experience the blessings He has prepared for His children.
मैं इस संदेश से यह सीखा की पुराने नियम में जब तक कोई मामा बलिदान नहीं होता था तब तक हमारे पाप क्षमा नहीं होते थे लेकिन जब हमारे प्रभु यीशु मसीह अपने आप को क्रूस पर चढ़ा दिया तब से पुराने नियम का पर्दा फट गया अब हमारा केंद्र हमारे प्रभु यीशु मसीह होना चाहिए हम अपना सारा भर हम अपने प्रभु यीशु मसीह को देते हैं हम अपनी सारी चिंता हम अपने प्रभु यीशु मसीह को देते हैं तब वह हमारी जिम्मेदारियां को उठाते हैं
आमीन
इस संदेश से मैंने यह सीखा कि प्रभु यीशु मसीह के आने से पहले परमेश्वर एक पवित्र स्थान में निवास करते थे, और केवल कुछ विशेष लोग ही वहाँ जा सकते थे। उस समय लोग पशु बलि देकर अपने पापों का प्रायश्चित करते थे।
लेकिन प्रभु यीशु के आने के बाद उन्होंने हमारे सभी पाप अपने ऊपर ले लिए और हमारी जगह स्वयं बलिदान हो गए। इसलिए अब हमें किसी भी प्रकार की पशु बलि देने की आवश्यकता नहीं है।
अब हमें परमेश्वर—प्रभु यीशु मसीह—को अपने हृदय के केंद्र में रखना है और किसी भी अन्य वस्तु या व्यक्ति को उनका स्थान नहीं देना है, क्योंकि यदि हम ऐसा करते हैं तो वे हमारे लिए मूर्ति बन जाते हैं।

What I understood from this message is that, In the Old Testament, God dwelled in the Most Holy Place of the tabernacle, but through Jesus’ once for all sacrifice, that curtain was torn. Now, believers are God’s living temple, with the Most Holy Place in the heart. Jesus alone must dwell at the center anything else becomes an idol. As a royal priesthood, our calling is to empty ourselves, place Christ on the throne, and live in obedience, offering our lives as a spiritual sacrifice that reflects God’s light to the world.
Hellow!
Thus message teaches us that as the old testament priests were set apart to stand before God inside the holy tabernacle.They used to offer animals blood thi God for sins so that God can forgive them…..
But according to new testament when Jesus Christ came on this earth and he died then the curtain was thorn and through the once for all sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Now we don’t need of animals’ blood for our sins. Jesus’ blood forgive our all sins now we must keep the Lord Jesus Christ at the center of our hearts and not give that place to anyone else. If someone or something else occupies the center of our heart, it means we begin to treat it like an idol. Therefore, we need to examine ourselves. And when our Lord is at the center of our hearts, He removes us from darkness and brings us into His marvelous light.

हमारे हृदय का केंद्र स्थान केवल यीशु मसीह ही हमारे हृदय में होना चाहिए यीशु ने हमारे पाप के लिये ओ कीमत चुका दी है इसलिए हमे पवित्र स्थान में आने मौका मिला हमे उसी अनुग्रह को चुकाना चाहिए और यीशु मसीह ही केवल हृदय में होना चाहिए न खुद का लाभ न स्वयं की इच्छा वरन वचन का पालन करते रहना है हमे सारा अधिकार प्रभु को सौप देना चाहिए तब हमारा शरीर परमेश्वर का सजीव मंदिर बन जाता हैं केवल यीशु मसीह ही हृदय में होना चाहिए
