Tabernacle series ; Hebrews 10

In the tenth chapter of Hebrews, we see that the law could never justify us as it could never take away sin. Rather it was a constant reminder of sin. VERSE THREE SAYS "But in those sacrifices there is a reminder of sins every year:" Then in the next verse "For it is not possible that the blood of sheep and goats could take away sins." Read verses 5-9. Verse 10 reads "By that will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all."
"That will" being God's will. There is no more need for animal sacrifices...His sacrifice on the cross, represented by the rent Veil, was and is all the sacrifice necessary for all men for all time. Look at verse 19 again, and reading down to 21 inclusive "Therefore brethren, having boldness to enter the Holiest by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way which He consecrated for us, through the Veil, that is His flesh, and having a high priest over the house of God, 22. let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith
(read on down through verse 25) Looking at verse 25...just how important is it for us to meet in church? On a regular basis? It would be easy to stay home on a dirty night. It's easy to stay home when you are tired or company comes or you have had a bad day...there are lots of reasons. But the Bible says here in Hebrews ch. 10 that we must do it even more as time passes and we draw closer to the return of the Lord. Can you say amen?
