Grace, Hope & Peace, Friend; After showing that Jesus is our eternal High Priest - "A high priest, who has taken His seat at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens, a minister in the sanctuary and in the true tabernacle, which the Lord set up, not man." - (Hebrews chapters 7 & 8) Chapter 9 shows that everything, in the old covenant - the one God made with Abraham and his descendants - was a picture of what was to come. The regulations for worship, the outer and inner rooms of the tabernacle, everything in the tabernacle, even the sacrifices that were offered, all pointed to the new covenant that God has made with humanity. (Hebrews 9:1-10)
The rituals, the observances, the sacrifices, even the blood of the sacrifices were all pictures of Jesus' death, burial and resurrection, and of what He is doing today as our High Priest. (Hebrews 9:18-22)
The earthly sacrifices had to be offered over and over, but Jesus, as the eternal High Priest, made the perfect sacrifice of His own blood to deal with sin for eternity. (Vs. 26)
Yeshua, Seh HaElohim - Jesus, Lamb of God - Thank You that Your sacrifice was sufficient.
