Sermon #616
A priest is one who intercedes on behalf of the people to God, to make sacrifices to atone for sin. The high priest is one who makes atonement for the sins of all the people, in this case, the people of Israel. But the high priest is himself a sinful person and so he must first make atonement for his own sins before making atonement for the people. This is not the case for Jesus Christ, who was tempted in every way that we are, yet without sin. Having no sin to atone for in himself, he was able to be our sacrifice and atone for the sins of the world. And like the scapegoat described in Leviticus, he was able to take our sin far away from us.
