Christ’s sacrifice
-
Proverbs 25:21–22 urges kindness to enemies, “heaping burning coals” to stir conviction or judgment. Romans 12:20–21 echoes this, emphasizing overcoming evil with good. Christ’s sacrifice absorbs judgment, freeing us to love boldly, trusting God with outcomes while promising divine reward for faithfulness.

The Old Testament’s tabernacle and priesthood were temporary shadows pointing to Jesus, the true heavenly temple and eternal priest in the order of Melchizedek. Clinging to these copies, like valuing a replica over the original, risks denying Christ’s sufficient sacrifice, undermining the eternal reality He fulfills.
