The writer to the Hebrews continues with the main theme of this book, "How Jesus is better than anything." Jesus is a better priest in every way. Jesus is the guarantor of a better covenant that is instantiated in the Cup. Jesus sacrificed once for all, not like the Old Testament priests who sacrificed daily. Jesus does not need to sacrifice for Himself. He is the High Priest and He is the sacrifice, the unblemished, holy, and unstained Lamb. Now, Jesus is ministering for us in the real Tabernacle in heaven. This had to be earned/won by Him as a man, God incarnate.
