What does the Bible say about Jesus as our altar?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible states that Jesus is our altar, as indicated in Hebrews 13:10, where it emphasizes that believers have a right to partake in the fulfillment of the Old Testament sacrifices.

In Hebrews 13:10-13, the writer emphasizes that believers have a distinct altar which the Jewish priests do not have the right to partake in. This altar represents Jesus Christ Himself, who became our ultimate sacrifice. Unlike the Old Testament sacrifices which served as temporary solutions for sin, Jesus’ sacrifice provides eternal redemption. By His blood, Jesus sanctified His people, suffering outside the camp to bear our reproach, highlighting both His role as our priest and the completeness of His atoning work. Thus, we are called to approach Him in faith, recognizing Him as the fulfillment of all the types and shadows previously given in the Old Covenant.
