La Nouvelle Alliance résulte du sacrifice une fois pour toutes de Jésus et de son sacerdoce supérieur basé sur sa vie de résurrection . La Lettre aux Hébreux met en évidence les aspects clés du ministère du Christ, en particulier son Sacerdoce et sa Mort sacrificielle une fois pour toutes. La Lettre souligne la nature non répétable de son sacrifice pour le péché et la permanence de son office sacerdotal qui en résulte. Il a “ accompli la purification des péchés ” qu'aucun sacrifice animal ou prédécesseur sacerdotal n'a jamais pu.

The New Covenant results from the once-for-all sacrifice of Jesus and his superior priesthood based on his resurrection life . The Letter to the Hebrews  highlights key aspects of Christ’s ministry, especially his Priesthood and once and for all Sacrificial Death. The Letter stresses the non-repeatable nature of his sacrifice for sin and the permanence of his resulting Priestly Office. He has “ achieved the purification of sins ” that no animal sacrifice or priestly predecessor ever could.

Since this “ Word spoken in a son ” is complete and definitive, it is “ better than ” the partial revelations of the past “ spoken in the prophets .” Unlike his predecessors, the Son, “ having achieved the purification of sins ,” sat down at God’s right hand where he remains to this day mediating for his people as their faithful High Priest. Logically, this means that the previous “ words ” by the prophets and the ministries of the Levitical priests proved insufficient to remove the stain of sin from the covenant community.
