Commentary
Hebrews 9 is a chapter that speaks to the importance of the New Covenant and the superiority of Jesus’ sacrifice over the Old Covenant. The author begins by discussing the tabernacle and the various rituals that were performed in it. He then goes on to explain how Jesus’ sacrifice was superior to the Old Covenant because it was a once-for-all sacrifice that was effective for all time. He also explains how the New Covenant was sealed with the shedding of Jesus’ blood, which was a much more powerful symbol than the blood of animals used in the Old Covenant.
