Before the high priest could go behind the vail into the Most Holy Place to minister to God, God required the room to be filled with His exclusively pure and holy perfume. “And thou shalt make it a perfume… pure and holy… and put of it before the testimony in the tabernacle of the congregation, where I will meet with thee: it shall be unto you most holy” (Exodus 30:35-36, emphasis added). Our access into the Most Holy Place is by the pure and holy perfume of Jesus Christ, but it requires love on our part. “And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour” (Ephesians 5:2). This fragrance is the same as a life that is acceptable in God’s eyes, “…the things which were sent from you, an odour of a sweet smell, a sacrifice acceptable, wellpleasing to God” (Philippians 4:18). We now enter into the Most Holy Place by waving the fragrance of our praises with the perfume of Jesus Christ.
