In a “Got Questions” commentary, they write that: Hebrews 9:11-18 confirms the symbolism of blood as [the life force] and applies Leviticus 17:11 to the sacrifice of the Lord Jesus Christ. Verse 12 states clearly that the Old Testament blood sacrifices were temporary and only atoned for sin partially and for a short time, hence the need to repeat the sacrifices yearly.
But when Christ entered the Most Holy Place, He did so to offer His Own Blood once for all time, making future sacrifices unnecessary. This is what Jesus meant by His dying words on the Cross: “It is finished!”
Never again would the blood of bulls and goats cleanse men temporarily from their sin, for Jesus Christ the Perfect and Sinless Lamb of God shed His Own Blood in forever payment for sin’s death and then by way of His Glorious Resurrection Power He has guaranteed Eternal Life to all who will believe in Him for Salvation’s Security.
In this Podcast, we continue to review the earthly ritual of the “cutting of the covenant” named so because it caused the blood to flow, while giving the Scriptural fulfillment Jesus Christ accomplished in the Heavenly Covenant by shedding His Own Perfect and Sinless Blood on mankind’s behalf.
