Our Inner Most Room

Just as the Solomon's temple of old had an inner most room (the holy of holies), so we have our inner most room. It is a room deep within us that was dark and empty until the Holy Spirit came into us and dwelt there. It is the place where Christ can dwell within us. It is a place called our inner man, and it is a place from which flows the resurrection Holy Spirit power of Christ!

that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height—to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen. (Eph 3:16-21)

The mercy seat sat in the Old Testament holy of holies, and once a year the high priest came in to sprinkle blood as an atonement or covering for the sins of the people. And so it is that the blood of Christ sprinkles our hearts and washes us from every sin, firmly seating us in God's lap of mercy.

May you find the riches of His mercy, the blessing of His peace, and the power of His love in your inner most room.

Yours in Him,
Pastor B.
