Hebrews 7:27

25 Therefore He is also ^aable to save to the uttermost those who come to God through Him, since He always lives ^bto make intercession for them.

26 For such a High Priest was fitting for us, ^awho is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, ^band has become higher than the heavens;

27 who does not need daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifices, first for His ^aown sins and then for the people’s, for this He did once for all when He offered up Himself.

28 For the law appoints as high priests men who have weakness, but the word of the oath, which came after the law, appoints the Son who has been perfected forever.

Hebrews 7:28 >>

Hebrews 7:27 Who needeth not daily . . . to offer up sacrifices. The daily sacrifice was offered on the altar, as those high priests, under the direction of the high priest, first for his own sins, and then for the people's, for the sins of the whole nation, including himself. For this he did once, when he offered up himself. Instead of the daily offering for himself and others, Christ made but one offering, himself, when he died upon the cross. This offering was complete when he, as the high priest, ascended into the Holy of Holies above to intercede for the sins of his people. The perfect high priest had offered the perfect sacrifice and had dedicated the new and better covenant. Christ made his offering as a priest in "The true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man" (Hebrews 8:2).
