The Unchangeable Priest Hood

The High Priest our Lord Jesus Christ says in Hebrews 7 verse 12 that He does not need to offer sacrifices for His own sins, because He is perfect and has no sin. He bore our sin on the cross of Calvary when He offered up Himself as a sacrifice to God for the sin of the whole world. Hebrews 7 verses 24-27 informs us that because He continues forever, He has an unchangeable priesthood. Therefore He is also able to save to the uttermost those who come to God through Him. Since He always lives to make Intercession for us. For such a High Priest was fitting for us. He is Holy, harmless, and undefiled. He is separate from sinners and has become higher then the Heavens. This perfect one does not need t0 offer up sacrifices, first for Himself then for the people, as those high priests had to do daily. For this He did once and for all, when He offered once for all, when He offered up Himself. For the law appointed high priests, men with weakness, to offer the sacrifices. But the word of the oath, which came after the law, appointed the SON of GOD--who has been perfected for EVER. Hebrews 8: 1 states that we have such an High Priest, who is seated at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the Heavens.

But now Christ has obtained a more Excellent ministry in as much as He is also mediator of a better covenant, which was established on better promises (Hebrews 8:6). For if the first covenant had been faultless then there would have been no reason to create a second. Because, finding fault with the first, the Lord says, "Behold the days are coming, when I will make a new covenant, with the house of ISRAEL and JUDAH. This is the covenant that I will make with the House of ISRAEL. After those days, I will put my laws in their minds and write them on their hearts, and I will be their God and they shall be my people. The law was given to the children of Israel by Moses but grace and truth came through the Lord Jesus Christ. The law is like a mirror that will show you what is wrong with your heart, but it cannot fix the problem. Consequently, the priesthood was changed, so it was necessary to change the law as well (Hebrews 7 v. 12).
