Wuest:
Quote:
The word "intercession" is the translation of entugchano which speaks of intervention rather than merely intercession. It includes every form of Messiah's identifying Himself with humanity, and includes the idea of intercession. The writer speaks here of the present intercession of Messiah on behalf of believers, which is based upon and follows His once-for-all offering of Himself as the sacrifice for sin.
Wuest's Translation: But this (priest), because He abides forever, has the priesthood which is non-transferable, for which reason He is able to be saving those completely and forever who come to God through Him, being always alive for the purpose of continually making intercession for them.

Why require eternal life in order to contnually make intercession if the blood sacrifice alone is all the intercession is talking about? Why not END the manhood and the intercession as soon as the blood was finished being offered? I know this is what SOME believe occurred. But the scripture shwos the ongoing life was for the purpose of continually making intercession. This makes no sense if there is some relevance to the humanity continuing.
