Greatness of Christ’s Sacrifice

23 Therefore it was necessary that athe copies of the things in the heavens should be1 purified with these, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.  
24 For aChrist has not entered the holy places made with hands, which are1 copies of bthe true, but into heaven itself, now cto appear in the presence of God for us;  
25 not that He should offer Himself often, as athe high priest enters the Most Holy Place every year with blood of another—  
26 He then would have had to suffer often since the foundation of the world; but now, once at the end of the ages, He has appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself.
27 aAnd as it is appointed for men to die once, bbut after this the judgment,  
28 so aChrist was boffered once to bear the sins cof many. To those who deagerly wait for Him He will appear a second time, apart from sin, for salvation.
