So Christ also, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time for salvation without reference to sin, to those who eagerly await Him. Hebrews 9:28
Before Jesus came, religion consisted of yearly animal sacrifices that covered their sins without any forgiveness. The lamb, the blood, the mercy seat, the scapegoat, and the priest, were merely shadows of the true sacrifice to come. Jesus made all those things real with His one sacrifice for all times. Now we know there is judgment coming, but we can also know our Savior will be there for us. That makes the good news great news.
