The people of the Old Testament “clung to the promises of God even when they could not see how these promises would be fulfilled. They were, then, people in waiting, people on a journey toward a land they could not yet see, and everything about their approach to God carried the symbolism of the transitory. They offered imperfect sacrifices through flawed priests in a temporary and movable tabernacle that screened them from the holy presence… they were reaching toward a God they could not grasp, and now God has reached back to take their hands.”

Thomas Long, Hebrews: Interpretation: A Bible Commentary for Teaching and Preaching

Is there anything you’re holding onto today that doesn’t let your cling onto this old rugged cross?
