I believe you are hitting the nail on the head: The difference between the lamb's single work once and for all, and the high priest's ONGOING work. This helps me say it more clearly now.

My entire point has been that his role as LAMB is in shed blood alone, to stand for us in death. But his role as high priest is something different again, standing for us in the holiest of holies. As high priest, he continues his work forever until 1 Cor 15 is fulfilled. As Lamb, he did the work once and for all 2000 years ago.

The Lamb stood for us once and for all. The High Priest stands for us even until now!

The Lamb's work is done. The High Priest's is not done until 1 Cor 15 is fulfilled.
