Hebrews 10:11-12 And every priest stood daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins: But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God
‘And every priest stood daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins.’ In summing up his arguments for the abolishment of the law and the establishment of the new covenant, Paul emphasizes two things: The utter helplessness and emptiness of the earthly priests standing daily to minister sacrifices that can never take away sins. The infinite power of the one sacrifice of Christ that cleanses from all sin, defeats the enemies of God and perfects all believers forever (10:12-14).
‘Sat down on the right hand of God’ – After Christ made His supreme sacrifice His work for sins was finished. He could then sit down and wait to see His work completed in the lives of believers who would be freed from sin and delivered from their enemies (10:12-14; 1:3; 12:2; Ps. 110:4). The continual daily sacrifices proved the imperfection of such sacrifices. Christ’s one sacrifice proved its completeness, hence He could sit down, instead of continuing to offer Himself as the priests of the law who offered sacrifices daily (10:12-14).
