Hebrews 9:11
"But Christ being come an High Priest of Good Things to come, by a greater and more Perfect Tabernacle not made with hands."
The pictures, shadows and types of the Old Testament all point to Christ and Him crucified. His death is the core of Scripture, the Perfect Sacrifice, "For the law having a shadow of Good Things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect” (Hebrews 10:1).
Christ is the very image of God, "In Whom we have redemption through His blood, even the forgiveness of sins: Who is the image of the invisible God" (Colossians 1:14-15). He is the only One Who is truly GOOD, "And [Jesus] said unto him,...there is none Good but One, that is, God" (Matthew 19:17).
The Good Things refer to the Person and work of Christ in the flesh, who came to save His people by His death. He is the Grace of God, the Good Thing, the Holy Thing spoken of throughout Scripture, as declared to Mary in Luke 1:35, "The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the Power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that Holy Thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God."
There are men who will try to pull you away from Him, to worship them. Hebrews 13:9 warns, "Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines. For it is a Good Thing that the heart be established with Grace.” The heart that belongs to Christ is one that has been established with Grace Himself, by His Holy Spirit.
