ISB ~ Hebrews 9 v14

the eternal Spirit:The Spirit carried the risen humanity of Jesus beyond the veil of creation into the heavenly sanctuary (Acts 1:9-11).

offered himself:Jesus is both priest and sacrificial victim.

without blemish:Animals offered in sacrifice had to be free of physical defects (Lev 1:3, 10; 3:1, 6; etc.). Christ is free of every moral and spiritual defect (Heb 7:26; 1 Pet 1:19).

to serve:Redemption from sin brings a new freedom for worship (12:28; 13:15-16).
