All the pomp and ceremony celebrating the British Queen's 60 years of reign are quite amazing. Yet for OUR King of King's I fear we may have lost respect. This respect best shown through our worship. The Ark of the covenant and symbols of the temple were all designed to do just that, instill in us a reverence for the presence of God!
Only once per year the High Priest was allowed to enter the Holy of Holy's and that with a rope and bells tied to his anckles. Should the offering not please God, he'd be struck dead instantly and no man dare enter to retrieve his body, hence the rope to pull him out.
Yes, through Christ we have been given the right to stand in the presence of our Father God, but we must never forget the price that was paid for this honour! Let us enter the throne of Grace with reverence.
