Hebrews 10:11-18 – Seated at God’s Right Hand • The Jewish priest stood daily, repeatedly offering the same sacrifices—which could NEVER take away sin • When Christ offered, for all time, a single sacrifice for sins, He sat down at the right hand of God • He was humbled on earth, He is exalted in heaven • Where there is forgiveness of sin, there is no longer any offering for sin!

Jesus Christ: The REAL thing! • Incarnation was real • 2:11-17 • Suffering was real • 2:10; 5:8; 12:2; 13:12 • Offering was made in the real place • 9:11 • Forgiveness is real • 9:12 Hebrews 10:1-18: Jesus the Better Sacrifice
