He Sat Down, Received the Crown, Now Satan's Goin' Down

"And every priest stands daily ministering and offering time after time the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins; but He, having offered one sacrifice for sins for all time, SAT DOWN AT THE RIGHT HAND OF GOD,  waiting from that time onward UNTIL HIS ENEMIES BE MADE A FOOTSTOOL FOR HIS FEET. For by one offering He has perfected for all time those who are sanctified."
Heb. 10:11-14 (NAS)

The Holy Spirit, as He  impelled the writer of Hebrews to emphasize the superiority of Jesus Christ as the eternal, perpetual (meaning only) High Priest of the New Covenant, utilizes not only direct quotes from the  Old Testament but also allusions to Old Testament passages.  Our text for today is one of those Old Testament allusions and not really a direct quote. But don't be mistaken, the Hebrews who had turned to Christ in those days, and the saints of today, would and should have a well trained ear and eye to recognize language lifted from Old Testament scriptures. They're all designed for our edification and to help us properly appraise and appreciate just who Jesus Christ is declared to be according to the Scriptures.

The Superior Blood of the New Covenant

"Therefore even the first covenant was not inaugurated without blood.  For when every commandment had been spoken by Moses to all the people according to the Law, he took the blood of the calves and the goats, with water and scarlet wool and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book itself and all the people, saying, "THIS IS THE BLOOD OF THE COVENANT WHICH GOD COMMANDED YOU." And in the same way he sprinkled both the tabernacle and all the vessels of the ministry with the blood.  And according to the Law, one may almost say, all things are cleansed with blood, and without shedding of blood there is no forgiveness." - Hebrews 9:18-22
