Hebrews 9: 12: "Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us." We will spend two days on this verse. First, I believe this verse proves that Christ took His literal blood to heaven to present to the Father. If that is not what the writer of Hebrews is talking about here, I do not know what he is saying. Since the Scriptures do not give us the specifics of the presentation, we can't be sure if the blood was literal. While I think it was, it could have been symbolic. Either way, the truth of blood redemption is confirmed. “Neither by the blood of goats and calves”—that is literal blood. “But by his own blood,” this is the literal blood which He shed on the cross. “He entered in.” How? By His own blood. His was a superior sacrifice and the only one worthy to be presented in heaven. I want you to grasp the picture of the meaning of this verse. The Lord Jesus Christ took His blood to heaven for you, the saved elect. He presented it once and for all for you. He would have done it for you if you were the only person alive that needed redemption. Let this verse sink in, deep into your spirit. the Lord Jesus Christ died for you and for every evil wicked thing you ever did, thought about or desired. This is a good place to bow your head and say, "Thank You."
