The writer of Hebrews is writing to a largely Jewish audience discussing how Jesus is better than all that has come before him. This is an effort to help them see the futility of keeping certain Jewish practices which have been fulfilled in Christ. Today, the writer considers how Jesus is a better sacrifice. In the tabernacle and temple system, sacrifices for sins were once made continually because men sinned continually, but in Jesus we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all time. This security is a source of hope for the believer, for in Christ we have a better and enduring possession that is far more valuable than anything we might lose in this world.
