A Better Sacrifice
9:11 to 10:18
The author will prove the priesthood of Jesus is superior to the Levitical priesthood by the use of five contrasts. The fifth, and final contrast, shows us that the New Priesthood is based on a better Sacrifice. The Levitical priesthood was based on animal blood, the blood of bulls and goats (10:4), which only provided a temporary atonement, while the New Priesthood is based upon Messiah’s blood, which provides an eternal redemption.225
