| One Offering |
| “And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins: But this man, after He had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God” (Hebrews 10:11-12). |
| In the Old Testament, there was never a seat for the priest, either in the tabernacle in the wilderness or the temple at Jerusalem. This was to indicate that their work was never done. It was an endless round of daily and yearly sacrifices. The Israelites understood that when they brought a sacrifice it only atoned for that one sin, and then they had to bring another, and another, and another. |
| But thankfully the work of atonement is finished and complete in the death of Christ on Calvary. “For by one offering He hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified” (Hebrews 10:14). God will never require another sacrifice for sin. The fact that “He raised Him from the dead, and set Him at His own right hand in the heavenly places” (Ephesians 1:20), is a proof that God is satisfied with the work of His Son, who has “put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself” (Hebrews 9:26). |
