According to Ellen White's writings, Jesus is currently ministering in the heavenly sanctuary on behalf of humanity. Here are the key points from her books:
- Jesus entered the most holy place of the heavenly sanctuary to cleanse it and make a special atonement for His people (see Early Writings, p. 251.1).
- The sanctuary in heaven is the original, of which the earthly sanctuary built by Moses was a copy. Jesus ministers there as our High Priest before the throne of God (see The Great Controversy, p. 413.3; Patriarchs and Prophets, p. 357.2).
- Jesus' work in the heavenly sanctuary involves two phases, paralleling the daily and yearly services of the earthly sanctuary. He ministers in both apartments, and His work includes intercession and atonement for sin (see Patriarchs and Prophets, p. 357.3; 1 Spiritual Gifts, p. 160.1).
- The heavenly sanctuary is the center of Christ's work for the redemption of humanity, and understanding this work is crucial for all believers (see 4 Spirit of Prophecy, p. 313.1).
In summary, Jesus is ministering as our High Priest in the heavenly sanctuary, interceding for us, making atonement, and carrying forward the work of redemption until its final completion.
