But when Christ appeared as a high priest of the good things that have come, then through the greater and more perfect tent (not made with hands, that is, not of this creation) he entered once for all into the holy places, not by means of the blood of goats and calves but by means of his own blood, thus securing an eternal redemption.
Hebrews 9:11-12
Jesus is better. That is the theme over and over in Hebrews. In this context, He is the better high priest Who secures a better (in fact the best) redemption for our sins. No longer does a priest repeatedly need to offer an endless stream of animal sacrifices entering the holy place. Jesus has done it once for all by His blood... forever. This is definitely better.
“In all my sorrows, Jesus is better. Make my heart believe.
In all my victories, Jesus is better. Make my heart believe.
Than any comfort, Jesus is better. Make my heart believe.
More than all riches, Jesus is better. Make my heart believe.
Our souls declaring, Jesus is better. Make my heart believe.
Our song eternal, Jesus is better. Make my heart believe.
Glory, glory, we have no other king but Jesus Lord of all!”
