Hebreos 7:24 Meaning and Commentary

Hebrews 7:24

But this man, because he continueth ever
Though he died, death did not forbid him to continue, as it does other men; he was not forced to die, he died voluntarily; and he continued but for a small time under the power of death; besides, his death was a branch of his priestly office: so that he not only continued in his divine nature, which still had the human nature in union with it, but he continued in his office as a priest, and quickly rose from the dead; and the virtue of his sacrifice always remains, and he himself ever lives as an intercessor: wherefore he

hath an unchangeable priesthood;
which will never be antiquated, and give place to another; nor does it, or ever will it pass from him to another, for it is needless, seeing he lives, and no other is sufficient for it; and it would be injustice to pass it to another; the glory of it is due to him; and this is matter of comfort to the saints, that he sits a priest upon his throne, and that his priesthood always continues.

Hebreos 7:24 In-Context

22 Debido a ese juramento, Jesús es quien garantiza este mejor pacto con Dios.

23 Hubo muchos sacerdotes bajo el sistema antiguo, porque la muerte les impedía continuar con sus funciones;

24 pero dado que Jesús vive para siempre, su sacerdocio dura para siempre.

25 Por eso puede salvar —una vez y para siempre—
a los que vienen a Dios por medio de él, quien vive para siempre, a fin de interceder con Dios a favor de ellos.

26 Él es la clase de Sumo Sacerdote que necesitamos, porque es santo y no tiene culpa ni mancha de pecado. Él ha sido apartado de los pecadores y se le ha dado el lugar de más alto honor en el cielo.
