Hebrews 9:24 - Forerunner Commentary

Hebrews 9:24

22 And according to the law almost all things are¹ purified with blood, and ^awithout shedding of blood there is no² remission.

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.
