Jesus is Enough

When the high priest went beyond that which separated the Holy Place from the Holy of Holies in the temple, he found himself in the very presence of God. Under the old covenant the high priest was admitted there only once a year. Christ, in his death, opened that way for all of us. The immediate the presence of the holy God is our privilege.

If you have tasted God's holy immediate presence, you will not have much use for life without that intimacy. If you have ever reached the point where he has glorified himself in you, you will never want to leave that place of his holy presence.

Are you still living in the outer courts? Let God push you farther and farther into his presence. Jesus became the sacrifice so you and I could lay down our lives as sacrifices as well. Once we have laid down ourselves, we can go inside the veil, and Jesus himself will become our life, our glory.

When Jesus has become that, you don't need anything else. It doesn't matter whether the way is easy or rough. He is enough. It doesn't matter whether he fills your hands or empties them. He is enough. It doesn't matter whether you are sick or well. He is enough. It doesn't matter whether you are living or dying. He is enough. When you enter the Holy of Holies you do not need anything, because Jesus is enough.
