Why does Jesus bear the iniquity of our holy things?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus bears the iniquity of our holy things to ensure our offerings and worship are accepted by God despite our imperfections.

The concept that Jesus bears the iniquity of our holy things reflects His vital role in sanctifying our actions and intentions. As presented in Exodus 28:38, the high priest carried the responsibility of ensuring that the offerings were made acceptable to God. In our worship and service to the Lord, even our best efforts are tainted by sin; however, Christ, our High Priest, purifies our prayers, praises, and sacrifices through His mediation. Hebrews 13:15 urges us to offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually through Him, which implies that our acts of worship are only received through His righteousness. This understanding gives us profound comfort, knowing that our inadequacies do not prevent us from having a genuine relationship with our Savior and being heard by the Father.
