"But Christ being come an High Priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle" than theirs; Hebrews 9:11.
"Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by His own blood, He entered in once into the holy place." verse 12.
"For if the blood of bulls and of goats and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh; how much more shall the blood of Christ, who, through the eternal spirit offered Himself without spot to God purge your conscience;" verses 13, 14.
"For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself; verse 24.
"Nor yet that He should offer Himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others; but now once in the end of the world hath He appeared to put away sin by the sacrificed of Himself;" verses 25, 26.
"And as it is appointed unto (the) men (priests) once to die, but after this the judgment: so Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for Him shall He appear the second time without sin unto salvation." verses 27, 28.
"For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually, make the comers thereunto perfect;" but "by one offering He hath perfected forever them that are sanctified;" Hebrews 10:14.
"It is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats shouldtake away sins;" "but a body hast Thou prepared Me;" verses 4, 5.
---These are a part of the contrasts or comparisons the Apostle draws between the Levitical priesthood and Christ's, and there is a resemblance in every instance, but Christ's is superior to Levi's."
