Heavenly Things

In Hebrews we have heavenly things. The Jew was occupied with earthly things. In the third chapter we have our Apostle and High Priest in connection with heavenly things. The Lord, when He speaks to Israel in this book, does not say, "Who were dead in trespasses and sins"; He says "brethren". Why? Because they were already in relationship with Him. But they needed something better; they needed heavenly things. The remnant of faith in Israel belonged to Him, but they did not know about heavenly things. He calls them brethren. Then He shows them by the Apostle Paul that all these types and shadows have to do with heavenly things. "We see Jesus" by faith; He is now in the heavens.
This is the heavens as they are now. In the Old Testament the heavens were clothed in thick darkness: there was no revelation to man. But now the heavens are opened. We see a man seated in the heavens, surrounded with glory on every hand. His very Person is the fragrance that fills all heaven-Jesus, the man Christ Jesus. What will the heavens be like in the eternal state? Still Jesus, and all because He fills all things. Would you want to have your hearts filled? You have a longing now for satisfaction. There is not one thing in this world that will satisfy your heart. If Jesus is going to satisfy your heart forever, can't He satisfy it now?
