He doesn’t need to offer sacrifices every day, as high priests do #– #first for their own sins, then for those of the people. He did this once for all time when he offered himself.
so also Christ, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him.
how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish to God, cleanse our consciences from dead works so that we can serve the living God?
But the high priest alone enters the second room, and he does that only once a year, and never without blood, which he offers for himself and for the sins the people had committed in ignorance.
‘When he slaughters the male goat for the people’s sin offering and brings its blood inside the curtain, he will do the same with its blood as he did with the bull’s blood: he is to sprinkle it against the mercy seat and in front of it.
You are to give a bull from the herd as a sin offering to the Levitical priests who are from the offspring of Zadok, who approach me in order to serve me.’ This is the declaration of the Lord God.
Otherwise, he would have had to suffer many times since the foundation of the world. But now he has appeared once, at the end of the ages, for the removal of sin by the sacrifice of himself.
