- Hebrews 9:23–28
Read Hebrews 9:25 with 9:23–28. This verse denies repeated self-offering like the high priest's yearly entry with another's blood. The complete unit establishes this movement: Earthly copies are purified with ritual blood, but Christ enters heaven itself to appear before God for his people, not repeatedly; he appears once at the ages' culmination to remove sin by self-sacrifice and, after bearing many people's sins, will appear again for the salvation of those awaiting him.
Why It Needs Context
The complete sermon movement in Hebrews 9:23–28 supplies the comparison, cited Scripture, warning or promise, and pastoral outcome that give this line its force; isolated teaching would detach it from those controls.
