Under the old covenant the priests ministered in a tabernacle made by the hands of men and presented animal sacrifices that could only push away the problem of sin for another year.
The high priest being a sinful man had to cover his own sin by slaying an animal before entering into the holy place to cover the sin of the people, but this did not bring reformation between man and God.
The first Adam brought sin and death into the world but the last Adam brought reformation between God and man. God provided a sinless sacrifice in the form of the man Jesus Christ when he robed Himself in flesh. Jesus Christ our High Priest did not enter into a tabernacle made by human hands but into the true tabernacle and only once.
Thank God for the Blood! For God so loved us that he stepped off the throne and came down to our level and endured the death of the cross to reconcile us to himself. Thank you Lamb of God! Precious Jesus!
