The book of Hebrews is the best place to start. There we find great emphasis placed upon the divine dignity and superiority of Christ's person as a conclusive argument for regarding His sacrifice as supreme. For secondary materials, see Shorter Catechism answer 25; and expositions like those of Boston and Fisher explain the infinite value of Christ's sacrifice.

No, the sacrifice can't be considered unending because it is very clearly marked as something that has been accomplished once in the past. What we do find, however, is that Christ continually presents His one completed sacrifice in the heavenly tabernacle as a part of His continual intercession which He makes for His people whereby He saves them to the uttermost.
