Why was the death of Christ necessary? Hebrews 9:15–28 gives a precise answer. The new covenant required death, forgiveness required the shedding of blood, and the old covenant sacrifices could never…

right guys welcome back to our study in the book of Hebrews now the last time we were here we were looking at verses 11 through 15 and basically the idea was central one theme and that is dealing with the need of Christ to die we're going to explore that even more so in this particular video but That is when we look at the Aaronic priesthood and the services of the high priest on the day of atonement and all of the things that were for the most part associated with the Levitical sacrificial system that we have under the old covenant.
And the point that we see in verse nine is that it offered no cleansing of the conscience.
And the primary idea of thought is because of the day of atonement as a yearly observance, there was a continual reminder of sins.
And even by the nature of the day, day of atonement, atonement which means covering.
That means there was no true removal of sin and therefore it offered no redemption or forgiveness of sin.
So therefore the conscience of the one who came could not be cleansed or the word would be used perfected.
The guilt of sins is always present and thus this made it necessary for the blood of Christ himself for what the blood that was offered by the high priest on the day of atonement could not do.
Christ in presenting his own blood and not serving in an earthly tabernacle, but presenting his blood in the tabernacle of heaven itself, Jesus accomplished what the Old Testament and all of his typological ceremonies and rituals could not do and that is a forgiveness of sin and the cleansing of the conscience that is there is no more remembrance of sin and so what the writer this is what he's done here and thus verse number nine of nine that is the perfecting of the conscience that the old covenant could not accomplish that is the priestly sacrifices and his duties Jesus was able to do that and thus procure redemption for the one who comes to God through him.
Matter of fact, we only got part of 15 because 15 actually segues into the next developing thought, which for the most part, again, I use that term, is centered on the need of Christ to die.
Now, what you have to remember before we get started, and even though it's kind of lengthy, I don't think it'll actually take us that long to deal with the text.
But once you understand the global idea of what the writer is trying to stress, The text feels more comfortable.
And this will become the theme of the next section that we're going to deal with, Christ's death.
