"So now we have a high priest who perfectly fits our needs: completely holy, uncompromised by sin, with authority extending as high as God's presence in heaven itself. Unlike the other priests, he doesn't have to offer sacrifices for his own sins every day before he can get around to us and our sins. He's done it, once and for all: offered up himself as a sacrifice." Hebrews 7:26-27 (Message)
I love the end of that verse that says, "once and for all..." Jesus became the final sacrifice for our sins. There is nothing you or I can do to secure our salvation other than accept the final sacrifice. Jesus makes all the difference. If it were not for Him, we would still have to bring a sacrifice daily to cover our sins, but when we come to Jesus and accept Him as our Lord, He forgives us our sins, past, present and future.
No wonder Jesus' last words on the cross were, "It is finished!"
