What does it mean that Christ is the imperishable Savior?

Answered in 1 source

Christ being the imperishable Savior means He is eternal and unchanging, providing permanent redemption through His sacrifice.

The term 'imperishable Savior' refers to Christ's nature and His ability to save eternally, as depicted by the shittim wood used in the tabernacle, which did not decay. This symbolism underscores that Jesus, unlike the temporary sacrifices of the Old Covenant, is an everlasting solution to sin. His sacrifice and His person remain unchanged, keeping us secure in our salvation. As Hebrews 7:24 teaches, Christ holds His priesthood unchangeably because He lives forever, guaranteeing that He can always intercede for His people, thus affirming the permanence and reliability of our redemption.
