Having just celebrated Easter, we are primed for this verse from Hebrews. The coming of Jesus, his death and resurrection, have created a new covenant between God and man. No longer does a priest need to offer the blood of animals, because Jesus is our high priest, sitting at the right hand of the Father, who himself became the sacrifice. The space between God and man has been bridged by the initiative of God, because there was no way for us to do it ourselves.
