26 Such a high priest meets our need—one who is holy, blameless, pure, set apart from sinners, exalted above the heavens. 27 Unlike the other high priests, he does not need to offer sacrifices day after day, first for his own sins, and then for the sins of the people. He sacrificed for their sins once for all when he offered himself. 28 For the law appoints as high priests men who are weak; but the oath, which came after the law, appointed the Son, who has been made perfect forever
Jesus is separate from sinners.
He is holy. He is blameless. He is pure. He is exalted above the heavens. He remained completely untouched by the evil He encountered while on earth. And because of this, He did not need to first offer a sacrifice for His owns sins before He could atone for ours. He had no sin of His own to atone for.
And He didn't need to repeat the sacrifice over and over again either.
He was a perfect priest.
He was a perfect sacrifice.
He was a perfect priest offering Himself as the perfect sacrifice.
In order to save us to the uttermost, completely and forever redeeming us and granting us full access to God. Forever. Amen.
