Old vs New. The Necessity of Blood. Access to God.
"And just as it is appointed for people to die once—and after this, judgment— so also Christ, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him." Hebrews 9: 27-28
