Christ Before the Altar of Incense

The incense rises and the prayers of the saints ascend — and standing at the golden altar to present them is Jesus Christ, our eternal High Priest. This stunning piece of Seventh-day Adventist art depicts Jesus in full High Priestly regalia, hands lifted in intercession before the altar of incense in the heavenly sanctuary, the Ark of the Covenant glowing through the veil behind Him. Rooted in Hebrews 8:1–2 and the sanctuary message that lies at the heart of SDA theology, this image captures the living reality that our Advocate stands before the Father on our behalf right now. The Shekinah glory visible in the Most Holy Place reminds the viewer that justice and mercy occupy the same room — and that a Mediator stands between them.
