Christ’s Atoning Work

Hebrews 9:11–14  (ID: 3285)

Christians gather on Good Friday not for a funeral but to reflect on the victory that Christ achieved on the cross. Alistair Begg explains that Jesus willingly offered Himself as the only sacrifice that could secure redemption by paying the penalty for sin. Because of Christ’s completed work, our consciences are cleansed, and we are set free to serve God with the assurance that He is faithful.


Redemption Through the Blood of Christ

11But when Christ appeared as a high priest of the good things that have come,5 then through the greater and more perfect tent (not made with hands, that is, not of this creation) 12he 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. 13For if the blood of goats and bulls, and the sprinkling of defiled persons with the ashes of a heifer, sanctify6 for the purification of the flesh, 14how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish to God, purify our7 conscience from dead works to serve the living God.
