CHRIST - OUR ALTAR OF INCENSE

Every morning and every evening when Aaron the high priest tended the Golden Lampstand, he was to also burn sweet incense on the Altar of Incense in the Tabernacle. The smoke rising up was a perpetual incense before the Lord that their prayers were always being received.(Exodus 30:1-8)

Hebrews 9:24 (NKJV) Christ has not entered the holy places made with hands, which are copies of the true, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us.

The Altar of Incense can then be seen as a symbol of the prayers of God’s people. Our prayers ascend to God as smoke rising from the burning incense. Our prayers are holy because we pray in Jesus's name. The incense was to be burning continually on the altar, which shows the perpetual nature of Christ’s mediation on our behalf. Christ’s intercession on our behalf is a sweet-smelling savor to God. Go in peace.🙏

To God be the glory.
