Hebrews 9:24-28
The Blood of Christ
November 7, 2027
Overview & Insights
“He entered once for all into the holy places… by means of his own blood, thus securing an eternal redemption.” (Hebrews 9:12)
The Definitive Nature of Christ’s Work We now come to the first detailed statement of the definitive nature of Christ’s work—an argument that will be restated in several forms before we reach the end of this major section of the epistle in 10:18. It is now convincingly shown that, although the work of Christ corresponds in considerable detail to that of the levitical priesthood, it stands in contrast to the work of the latter as its ultimate counterpart. It is what truth is to shadow, what pattern is to copy. The work of Christ is final, absolute, definitive, complete, and perfect. Only such words are appropriate to describe what the author expounds.
