Greatness of Christ’s Sacrifice

23 Therefore it was necessary that (A)the copies of the things in the heavens should be [a]purified with these, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. 24 For (B)Christ has not entered the holy places made with hands, which are [b]copies of (C)the true, but into heaven itself, now (D)to appear in the presence of God for us;

  1. Romans 3:25 mercy seat

Surely (A)He has borne our [a]griefs
And carried our [b]sorrows;
Yet we [c]esteemed Him stricken,
[d]Smitten by God, and afflicted.
But He was (B)wounded[e] for our transgressions,
He was [f]bruised for our iniquities;
The chastisement for our peace was upon Him,
And by His (C)stripes[g] we are healed.
All we like sheep have gone astray;
We have turned, every one, to his own way;
And the Lord [h]has laid on Him the iniquity of us all.

He was oppressed and He was afflicted,
Yet (D)He opened not His mouth;
(E)He was led as a lamb to the slaughter,
And as a sheep before its shearers is silent,
So He opened not His mouth.
He was (F)taken from [i]prison and from judgment,
And who will declare His generation?
For (G)He was cut off from the land of the living;
For the transgressions of My people He was stricken.
(H)And [j]they made His grave with the wicked—
But with the rich at His death,
Because He had done no violence,
Nor was any (I)deceit in His mouth.

10 Yet it pleased the Lord to [k]bruise Him;
He has put Him to grief.
When You make His soul (J)an offering for sin,
He shall see His seed, He shall prolong His days,
And the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in His hand.
11 [l]He shall see the labor of His soul, and be satisfied.
By His knowledge (K)My righteous (L)Servant shall (M)justify many,
For He shall bear their iniquities.
