Last week we considered the first section of chapter 9. This week, we will pick up where we left off. Jesus' sacrifice of Himself for us is the pivotal doctrine of salvation. No other religion teaches anything like it; contrariwise, man is always called upon to sacrifice himself or offer something else in order to please his god. That God Almighty, the Perfect and Holy One, would condescend to come and not only take away our sin, but bear the punishment in Himself; coming to dwell with us and live among us. Jesus is truly a faithful high priest!
