How do we know that Jesus is the ultimate altar of sacrifice?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus is the ultimate altar of sacrifice because He is the appointed Lamb of God, whose sacrifice was perfect and sufficient for atonement.

In Hebrews 13:10, it is explicitly stated that we have an altar, referring to Jesus Christ, who serves as the singular and ultimate sacrifice for our sins. Unlike the altars of the Old Testament that required repeated sacrifices of animals, Christ's sacrifice was once and for all, fulfilling the typological representations in the Levitical system. His deity sets apart His perfect humanity, allowing Him to be both the high priest and the sacrificial lamb. The weight and power of His atoning work derive from His unique identity as God and man, which gives assurance that His sacrifice is perpetual and fully acceptable to God. Consequently, the one true gospel centers around this singular altar of Jesus, where His blood fulfills God's requirement for justice and grants believers eternal redemption.
