Bringing the Sacrifice Near

Wednesday, May 5, 2021

Messiah was brought to the house of Caiaphas, into the dominion and jurisdiction of the Sanhedrin and the priests of Israel. In ancient Israel, when a sacrifice was offered up, there was a procedure to be followed. The first part was called the Hikrib, from a Hebrew word which means close or near. Hikrib means the bringing near of the sacrifice into the dominion of the priest. You had to give the sacrifice to the priest. Therefore¸ Messiah, as the final sacrifice, had to be brought to the house of Caiaphas, just as the sacrifice had to be brought to the dominion of the priest - the Hikrib. In the same way, you need to bring Messiah near to every part of your life, near to your heart, near to your sin, near to your emotions, near to your past, near to your wounds, your secret things, your dreams, everything. The sacrifice must always be brought near. Bring Messiah near, up close, personal, and near to every part of your life. Because the sacrifice must be brought near - and that's when it counts.
