The gift is valued according to the altar on which it is presented. Christ offered Himself through the eternal Spirit, Heb. 9:14, that is to say, He offered His human nature on the altar of His divine nature. His divine nature being eternal, His offering possesses an eternal quality. Hence, although Christ did not sacrifice Himself eternally, He nevertheless offered an eternal sacrifice to satisfy divine justice.
Thank you Matthew. Is there writings on this? Can it be understood that His sacrafice is unending?
