Gospel High Priest

The book of Hebrews is all about showing how and why Jesus is better – better than angels, the temple, Moses, and Aaron’s line of priests.  Chapter 7, Verse 26 says why Jesus the High Priest is worthy:

          Holy

          Innocent

          Unstained

          Separated from sinners

          Exalted above the heavens

The rest of the chapter goes on to make that point that because Jesus offered himself once for all on the cross, he has no need to offer daily sacrifices, neither for himself nor for the people as commanded in Leviticus 7.
