11 But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building; 12 Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us (Hebrews 9:11-12).
Christ’s sacrifice accomplished what could never be accomplished by all other sacrifices. This is so since Christ’s sacrifice was accomplished once and had the power to redeem. The redemption is over death, which is the consequence of sin. No other sacrifice could truly redeem since either the one that sacrificed or the actual sacrifice was tainted by sin. So Christ was both the high priest and the sacrifice and therefore atones for those that cannot do so through their own weaknesses. This is the grace of God.
