Hebrews 8:2

Jesus
Jesus ChristHeaven and the new creation

1 The point of what we are saying is this: We do have such a high priest, who sat down at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven,

and who ministers in the sanctuary and true tabernacle set up by the Lord, not by man.

3 And since every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices, it was necessary for this One also to have something to offer.

4 Now if He were on earth, He would not be a priest, since there are already priests who offer gifts according to the law.
