Hebrews 9:24-28
Good News Translation (GNT)
*************************
24 For Christ did not go into a Holy Place made
by human hands, which was a copy of the real
one. He went into heaven itself, where he now
appears on our behalf in the presence of God.
25 The Jewish high priest goes into the Most
Holy Place every year with the blood of an
animal. But Christ did not go in to offer himself
many times,
26 for then he would have had to suffer many
times ever since the creation of the world.
Instead, now when all ages of time are nearing
the end, he has appeared once and for all,
to remove sin through the sacrifice of himself.
27 Everyone must die once, and after that be
judged by God.
28 In the same manner Christ also was offered in
sacrifice once to take away the sins of many.
He will appear a second time, not to deal with
sin, but to save those who are waiting for him.

Christ's Incomparable Sacrifice
Hebrews 9:24-28
Here the writer repeats the thoughts of Hebrews 8:1-2.
Christ's sacrifice never needs to be repeated.
Through His death, Christ has once for all atoned for our sins (verse 26).
A man dies only once; therefore, it is impossible for Christ to be sacrificed again and again.
His one-time sacrifice is sufficient to take away the sins of many people.
Man's death is followed by judgment.
Jesus' death is followed, not by judgment, but by eternal salvation for all who are waiting for him - that is, all believers.
Jesus will come again.
On that day we shall obtain our full inheritance in heaven, which He has promised to us.
Therefore, let us not grow weary, but let us continue to persevere with patience and faith (see Hebrews 6:12).
