Heb 7:23 Now there have been many of those priests, since death prevented them from continuing in office; Heb 7:24 but because Jesus lives forever, he has a permanganate priesthood. Heb 7:25 Therefore he is able to save completely those who come to God through him, because he always lives to intercede for them.
In the Levitical priesthood, perfection came by Law. The High priest was charged with the responsibility of offering annual sacrifices of bulls, sheep and heifers for the atonement of the Israelites once every year . The office of the High Priest remained relevant as long as he was alive.
Death would bring an end to his priesthood,which would usher in a new dispensation of priesthood when his first born son would take over and carry on the work of a Priest to the Jewish nation. Hence,the sins of the people were never fully cleansed.
Jesus died and rose again. He is the eternal saviour who permanently holds the priest’s office. Now our sins are not only atoned for, but fully and completely purged from us. They are removed from us as far as the east is from the west. We are not saved partially, but completely when we come to God through Jesus .Our eternal Priest does not only save us,but ever lives to intercede for us.
