The Death of Christ

“There I will meet with you.”

The death of Christ fully satisfies all of God’s righteous demands. This aspect of Christ’s death was typified by the sprinkling of the blood of atonement within the Holy of Holies, on the cover of the ark in which the tables containing the ten commandments were kept. These tables, signifying the law of God, exposed man and condemned man in the presence of God. Furthermore, the cherubim of glory (Exo. 25:19-20; Heb. 9:5) were positioned above the ark judging any who would attempt to enter into God’s presence. Who could enter such a place? Who would be qualified? No one! But after the blood of the offerings—which typify Christ--was sprinkled upon the lid of the ark (Lev. 16:14, compare with 18), God could say to His people, “There I will meet with you” (Exo. 25:22). It is only upon Christ the Redeemer (typified by the lid of the ark--see Rom. 3:25; Exo. 25:17-22; Lev. 16:14; and Heb. 9:5), who has accomplished an eternal redemption for us (Heb. 9:12), that man can “meet” with God. Moreover, in the New Testament age God not only meets with His redeemed people, but also gives His life to them, thus becoming one with them.
