Hebrews 9:25

25 He didn't enter to offer himself over and over again, like the high priest enters the earthly holy place every year with blood that isn't his.

Hebrews 9:25 Meaning and Commentary

Hebrews 9:25

Nor yet that he should offer himself often
Or at all again; which shows the perfection of his sacrifice, for justice was satisfied, the law fulfilled, sin done away, and complete salvation obtained at once; which lies against the errors of the Socinians, who say he offers himself now in heaven; and of the Papists, who pretend to offer the body of Christ daily in their mass:

as the high priest entereth into the holy place every year with
blood of others;
not his own, nor other men's, but the blood of goats and calves; but Christ entered into heaven with his own blood, he having been altar, priest, and sacrifice: the high priest went into the most holy place every year, but Christ has entered into heaven once for all, where he sits down and continues, having done his work effectually.

Hebrews 9:25 In-Context

23 So it was necessary for the copies of the heavenly things to be cleansed with these sacrifices, but the heavenly things had to be cleansed with better sacrifices than these.
24 Christ didn't enter the holy place (which is a copy of the true holy place) made by human hands, but into heaven itself, so that he now appears in God's presence for us.
25 He didn't enter to offer himself over and over again, like the high priest enters the earthly holy place every year with blood that isn't his.
26 If that were so, then Jesus would have to suffer many times since the foundation of the world. Instead, he has now appeared once at the end of the ages to get rid of sin by sacrificing himself.
27 People are destined to die once and then face judgment.
