His Unique Sacrifice
The Letter to the Hebrews highlights several aspects of the Son of God, especially his priesthood and sacrificial death. In doing so, the stress falls on the permanence of his office, and the non-repeatable nature of his sacrifice. In his death, he “ achieved the purification of sins .” Therefore, he now intercedes “ forever ” for his people as their faithful and sympathetic High Priest. His sacrifice dealt with sin “ once-for-all .”
