Unlimited access!

Hebrews 10:11-12"Day after day every priest stands and performs his religious duties, again and again he offers the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins. But when this priest (Jesus) had offered for all time one sacrifice for sins, he sat down at the right hand of God."
JESUS IS SITTING DOWN! Jesus is seated at the right hand of God not only as a place of honor, but because he's got nothing left to do (but reign over the universe!). That's why he said on the cross "It is finished!". There are no more sacrifices left to make, so he can sit down and rest for the rest of eternity!! No priest would have dared sit down in the Holy of Holies, but that's right where Jesus is sitting. He is seated in the presence of God (the Holy of Holies) and that is why the curtain in the temple ripped in two. There was no more limited access to God, no more need for blood to be shed, no more reason to be scared to and of death! ! ALL of the work is done! Today just 'rest' in the fact that what Jesus has done is enough for you and I in order to walk free.
