Right! His unending life allows for that and is integral for that to occur. It is explcitly stated so in Hebrews.
Quote:
Heb 7:16 KJV Who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life.
Heb 7:24-25 KJV But this man, because he continueth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood. (25) Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.
Heb 7:28 KJV For the law maketh men high priests which have infirmity; but the word of the oath, which was since the law, maketh the Son, who is consecrated for evermore.
