Main Point
Christ, the perfect sacrifice, offered Himself to God and ransomed slaves of sin allowing them to serve the living God
Hebrews 9:11-12 - Christ Secures Eternal Redemption
But when Christ appeared as a high priest of the good things that have come,
But Christ
Signifies a SHARP CONTRAST between the earthly tabernacle’s limitations and the Messiah’s redemptive work
Appeared
Entrance into the heavenly sanctuary after his resurrection work
Good things that have come
Association with the new covenant
Then through the greater and more perfect tent (not made with hands, that is, not of this creation)
Not made with hands
Contrasting the earthly tabernacle that was made by hands
Not of this creation
The heavenly tabernacle was not a part of God’s creation and thus not subject to death and decay
He entered once for all into the holy places, not by means of the blood of goats and calves
Entered once for all
Holy places
The very presence of God as symbolically revealed in the tabernacle
Blood of goats and calves
Reference to the Day of Atonement - Leviticus 16
But by means of his own blood, thus securing an eternal redemption.
His own blood
On the Day of Atonement the blood of goats and calves would have been spilt for sins, but at the cross it was Jesus’ own blood
Blood was not literally brought into heaven, but Christ offered His life as a sacrifice
Eternal redemption
Liberation from an oppressive situation
Ransomed or released
Redemption from the limitations that did not perfect the conscience of the worshiper

For if the blood of goats and bulls, and the sprinkling of defiled persons with the ashes of a heifer, sanctify for the purification of the flesh,
***Lesser to greater argument***
Blood of goats and bulls
Defiled persons with the ashes of a heifer
Laws for purification when coming in contact with a dead body
Sanctify for the purification of the flesh
How much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish to God,
Eternal Spirit
The Holy Spirit empowered Christ for His sacrifice
Luke makes multiple notes of Jesus being empowered by the Holy Spirit
Without blemish to God
OT sacrifices were physically unblemished
Christ was morally pure without sin
Purify our conscience from dead works to serve the living God.
Purify our conscience
Removal of sin from the heart - the internal
Dead works
Serve the living God
Outflow of a forgiven life
Not simply the Levitical priests
