Sinful Priests Who Died vs Sinless Priest Who Lives (Hebrews 7:23-28)

Hebrews 7:23–28 contrasts the Aaronic priests with Jesus Christ. The former priests were many because death prevented them from continuing in their ministry. Their priesthood was temporary, and each priest eventually had to be replaced.Christ is different. He remains forever and holds an unchangeable priesthood. He always lives to intercede for those who draw near to God through Him.The Aaronic priests were also sinful men. Before they could minister on behalf of the people, they had to offer sacrifice for themselves. But Jesus is holy, innocent, undefiled, and separate from sinners. He needed no offering for Himself; He offered Himself once as the perfect sacrifice.The law appointed weak men as priests, but God’s oath appoints the Son, perfected forever. In Christ, we have the sinless High Priest who lives forever.Read the full lesson on Let’s Talk Scripture: Let's Talk ScriptureAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
