                  One Final, Complete Sacrifice


AND every priest stands daily at his service, offering repeatedly the
same sacrifices, which can never take away sins.  But when Christ had 
offered for all time a single sacrifice for sins, he sat down at the 
right hand of God, then to wait until his enemies be made a stool for
his feet [cf. Psa. 110:1].  For by a single offering he has perfected 
for all time those who are sanctified.  

AND the Holy Spirit also bears witness to us; for after saying,
        "This is the covenant that I will make with them
        after those days, says the Lord:
        I will put my laws on their hearts, and write
        them on their minds,"
then he adds,
        "I will remember their sins and their misdeeds no more."

Where there is forgiveness of these, there is no longer any offering 
for sin.
