Bible Text: Hebrews 9: 12-17 | Preacher: Rev. Dr. Jeffrey Crawford | Series: Jesus is Greater than… | The author of Hebrews makes it clear that Jesus is the greatest sacrifice. The earthly priests offer sacrifices in the tabernacle or temple. Jesus entered through a “greater and more perfect tabernacle that is not make with human hands” (Heb. 8:11). He also didn’t count on the vicarious blood of goats or calves but offered his own blood.

 

In the old sacrificial system, the sacrifice could only atone for what had happened, so no sooner had a sacrifice been offered than the clock started ticking towards the next sacrifice.  Jesus’ sacrifice is the greatest in that it was offered once for all the world.
