Heb 7:19 | MHM | STEP | v. 19 : The Levitical priests were sinful and had to offer sacrifices for their own sins as well as for the people. But Jesus is perfectly holy, harmless, undefiled, and separate from sinners. He never needed to offer sacrifices for himself. He was exalted above the heavens and is completely pure and righteous (Hebrews 7:26-28 ). Only such a perfect High Priest could truly save and represent us before God.
