We have an altar, whereof they have no right to eat which serve the tabernacle. - Hebrews 13:10
We have an altar
The reference is to the eating of the sacrifice by the priests in the Old Testament (Lev. 6:14-16). The sacrifice was offered, burned upon the altar, and eaten by the priests. We have an altar; not the cross, nor a bench at the front of the church, nor the mass, but Christ himself. He is altar, sacrifice, and priest. We come to him, eat of his flesh, and drink of his blood (John 6:53-57).
