A 'Once for All' Sacrifice
Commentators unanimously emphasize that unlike the Jewish high priest who entered the Holy of Holies every year, Christ's offering of Himself was a single, unrepeatable event. Scholars like Spurgeon and Gill explain that this 'once for all' sacrifice demonstrates its absolute perfection and sufficiency. The work of redemption is finished, and no further sacrifice for sin is needed.
