The Blood of Christ:
The old covenant of sacrifice required something outwardly pure to die in place of your sins. For without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sin, for the wages of sin is death. This made you outwardly clean & symbolized a cleansed heart. Jesus Christ was internally pure. His sacrifice makes us internally clean and provides us with eternal life.
Remember, the tabernacle and temple are earthly models of the real deal in heaven. When Christ died, His blood wasn't spilled on earthly models, He didn't enter the Most Holy Place with his offering. No, He entered heaven and appeared before God with His sacrifice. What has been done over and over as an act of remembrance has been completed once and for all by Jesus Christ. His blood is enough, it is all that is needed. Praise the Lord!
